PT Pertamina (Persero) is strengthening its commitment to national\nclean energy development through the signing of a Joint Agreement with\nthe West Java Provincial Government regarding a strategic collaboration\nto utilise waste for the production of low-carbon hydrogen, biomethane,\nand biofuel. This partnership represents a significant step towards\nbuilding an integrated hydrogen ecosystem while simultaneously\nsupporting the energy transition and addressing waste management issues\nin West Java.<\/p>\n
The collaboration was formalised through the signing of the Joint\nAgreement between PT Pertamina (Pers c\u00e1o) and the West Java Provincial\nGovernment in Bandung on 29 July. The agreement encompasses various\nstrategic areas of cooperation, ranging from the development of new and\nrenewable energy and environmental management to community\nempowerment.<\/p>\n
Emma Sri Martini, Director of Strategy, Portfolio, and Business\nDevelopment at PT Pertamina (Persero), stated that a primary focus of\nthe cooperation is the planned utilisation of methane derived from waste\nat the Sarimukti landfill in West Bandung Regency. Through this\ncollaboration, biogas produced from waste will be purified into\nbiomethane, which will subsequently be processed into hydrogen. This\neffort is part of the broader development of a waste-to-energy\necosystem.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis cooperation covers various fields, one of which is waste\nmanagement in the Sarimukti landfill area. The processed waste will\nproduce biogas, which will then be developed into hydrogen and\nbiomethane,\u201d said Emma.<\/p>\n
According to Emma, the development of this project represents a\nsynergy within the Pertamina Group to create an integrated clean energy\nvalue chain from upstream to downstream. \u201cThis programme will be\nexecuted alongside Pertamina New & Renewable Energy (PNRE)\nSubholding and Gas Subholding. Each will have specific roles and\nresponsibilities, ranging from feedstock provision, processing, and\ninfrastructure construction to the distribution and commercialisation of\nenergy products.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emma further explained that the collaboration also involves\ninternational partners, including Hyundai from South Korea, as part of\nthe effort to accelerate the development of low-carbon energy\ntechnology. \u201cWe view this as an excellent collaboration between\nPertamina, the West Java Provincial Government, and international\npartners in developing low-carbon energy, particularly hydrogen. We hope\nthis programme will serve as a pilot for building a hydrogen ecosystem\nin Indonesia. If the implementation is successful, this business model\ncan be expanded and replicated in various regions,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pertamina-strengthens-clean-energy-ecosystem-through-collaboration-to-convert-waste-into-low-carbon-hydrogen-1785506151", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
