        "summary": "PGN, the gas sub-holding of Pertamina, is developing a study into the CCS ecosystem and CO2 transport, signing a joint study agreement at IPA Convex 2026 with Pertamina\u2019s upstream arm, PHE, and Pupuk Indonesia to advance blue ammonia. The project will map strategic areas and examine technical, legal, economic, and commercial aspects, with initial focus on West Java and East Java, leveraging existing gas infrastructure and ROW to accelerate CCS integration and bolster clean energy and national energy security.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk (PGN), as\nthe Gas Subholding of PT Pertamina (Persero), is developing a study of\nthe carbon capture and storage (CCS) ecosystem and carbon dioxide (CO2)\ntransport.<\/p>\n<p>PGN\u2019s Director of Infrastructure and Technology Hery Murahmanta, in a\nstatement in Jakarta on Friday, said the company continues to support\nthe development of low-carbon ammonia.<\/p>\n<p>At the IPA Convex 2026 event in Jakarta, on Thursday (21 May 2026),\nPGN signed a joint study agreement (JSA) on CCS technology studies.<\/p>\n<p>This strategic collaboration is undertaken with Pertamina\u2019s Upstream\nHolding, PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), and PT Pupuk Indonesia\n(Persero) in order to develop low-carbon ammonia (blue ammonia) in\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n<p>According to Hery, through this cooperation, the parties will conduct\na comprehensive study to examine the technical, legal, economic, and\ncommercial aspects related to developing the CCS ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>The main focus of this synergy is to create an efficient and\nsustainable low-carbon ammonia supply chain, from carbon emission\ncapture, CO2 transport, to injecting CO2 into safe underground\ngeological formations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this CCS collaboration, PGN takes the role of providing CO2\ntransport. This step is one of the pillars in PGN\u2019s step-out strategy to\nwiden its business portfolio into clean energy and decarbonisation,\u201d\nHery explained.<\/p>\n<p>To support the initiative, PGN will optimise its assets and\nresources, including existing natural gas infrastructure and\ncapabilities in developing a pipeline network.<\/p>\n<p>One of the emphasised strategies is the utilisation of the existing\ngas pipeline right of way (ROW) for developing the CO2 transport\nnetwork.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis collaboration is a tangible manifestation of PGN in integrating\ngas infrastructure with future technology to reduce carbon emissions,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n<p>Utilising the ROW of existing pipelines will speed up the integration\nof the CCS ecosystem efficiently, while also reinforcing our role as the\nmain CO2 transporter moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>The joint study will map strategic regions with great potential for\ndeveloping the CCS ecosystem and low-carbon ammonia production.<\/p>\n<p>The initial focus areas within this study corridor include West Java\nand East Java, which have industrial clusters with large energy\nneeds\/intensity.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the parties will evaluate other regions deemed\nstrategic from the perspectives of infrastructure and economic\nviability.<\/p>\n<p>The synergy between Pertamina Group and Pupuk Indonesia is expected\nto pioneer CCS development in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>By combining the upstream expertise of PHE, PGN\u2019s infrastructure\nstrength, and the fertiliser and ammonia industry capabilities of Pupuk\nIndonesia, the project is targeted to create new economic value while\nstrengthening national energy security in a more environmentally\nfriendly manner, Hery noted.<\/p>",
