        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2014 Pertamina and the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and\nEast Asia (ERIA) have officially entered into a strategic collaboration.\nThe collaboration is set out in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on\nResearch Collaboration and Joint Study on the Development of Sustainable\nEnergy Transition Pathways. Signing of the MoU took place as part of the\nIndonesia Petroleum Association (IPA) Convex 2026 event. The signing was\ncarried out by Pertamina\u2019s Director of Strategy, Portfolio and Business\nDevelopment (SPPU) Emma Sri Martini and ERIA Chief Operating Officer\nTakayuki Yamanaka. ERIA is an international think tank focusing on\neconomic and policy dimensions in the ASEAN and East Asia region. The\ninstitute is fully supported by Japan\u2019s Ministry of Economy, Trade and\nIndustry (METI) and is widely recognised for its excellence in regional\nenergy policy analysis. Emma said Pertamina remains committed to\nsupporting government programmes in achieving national energy\nindependence and also supporting the energy transition. To that end,\nPertamina continues to develop its capabilities by collaborating with\nvarious stakeholders, including think tanks. \u201cEnergy independence and\nthe energy transition are two strategies that Pertamina pursues in\nparallel. The two reinforce each other. This also represents the\nimplementation of Pertamina\u2019s Dual Growth Strategy,\u201d Emma said. Emma\nexplained that Pertamina currently pursues two main pillars of its\nbusiness strategy: optimising its existing fossil-based energy business\nand accelerating the development of low-carbon businesses. The MoU\ncovers two main pillars of cooperation: policy and economic analysis in\nthe energy sector, as well as capacity building and knowledge exchange.\nImplementation of the MoU will be carried out by Pertamina Energy\nInstitute (PEI) as Pertamina\u2019s strategic think tank. \u201cThrough a\npartnership with ERIA, Pertamina will receive support in the form of\npolicy studies based on research, comprehensive energy economics\nanalysis, and strengthening institutional capacity aligned with the\ncompany\u2019s business portfolio development and long-term strategy,\u201d Emma\nsaid. Emma said the collaboration is expected to strengthen Pertamina\u2019s\nstrategic position in the regional area amid the ongoing dynamics of the\nglobal energy transition. \u201cBy collaborating with a range of\nstakeholders, including international think tanks, the capacity of the\nparties will be enhanced,\u201d she said. In the same session, Pertamina\nGroup also signed several collaborations, including JSA CCS Ammonia\nbetween PT Pertamina (Persero), PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), PGN and\nPT Pupuk Indonesia; Heads of Agreement on CCS in the Asri Basin between\nPHE and Exxon; and MOU on CCS in Pertamina\u2019s Working Area between PT\nPertamina (Persero), PHE and ERIA.<\/p>",
