In order to encourage energy transition, State energy company PT Pertamina continues to collaborate with global strategic partner in encouraging energy transition, focusing on developing environmental friendly green energy.

In the latest development, Pertamina has agreed to collaborate with Hyunday Motor Asia Pacific HQ to develop hydrogen ecosystem in Indonesia.

Director of Strategy, Portfolio and Business Development of Pertamina, Salyadi Dariah Saputra, said the cooperation to develop hydrogen ecosystem is Pertamina’s commitment to accelerate energy transition as well as supporting government target to achieve Net Zero Emission by 2060.

According to Salyadi, Pertamina has mapped 17 locations as source of hydrogen supply spread from Sumatra to Papua. Currently, Pertamina is developing green hydrogen project in geothermal area of Ulubelu in Tanggamus Regency, Lampung province, with the production target of 100 kg/day.

In downstream sector, Pertamina is developing also a pilot project of Hydrogen Fuel Filling Station in Daan Mogot, West Jakarta, that will be first integrated energy refueling station in Indonesia. The hydrogen fuel station will provide three types of fuel in one filling station − fuel oil, gas and hydrogen.

“The development of hydrogen will be one of the clean energy business portofolios in the future and has the potential to make Indonesia as the main player in the region,”Salyadi said on Thursday, August 22, 2024.

He added that the development of green hydrogen will be world trend and can be one of Pertamina’s future businesss. The development of hydrogen needs huge investment and supporting regulation from the government so hydrogen ecosystem in transporation sector can be well established.

“Pertamina welcomes the cooperation with Hyundai Motor Company and this collaboration hopefully will encourage decarbonization efforts and the use of clean energy in transportation sector,” he said.

Sunny Kim, a Representative of Hyundai Motor Company, said that the project strengthens the joint vision of the two companies.

“For more than two decades, Hyundai Motor Company has dedicated for the development of hydrogen technology. The partnership with Pertamina has an objective to advance the implementation of hydrogen in Indonesian transportation sector. We hope that we can achieve sustainable future and can contribute to energy transition in the region together,“ Sunny said.

The agreement between Pertamina and Hyundai Motor Company is realized in the Memorandum of Understanding between Director of Strategy, Portfolio and Business Development of Pertamina Salyadi and representative of Hyunday Motor Company on May 30, 2024.

Pertamina has the commitment to support the 2060 Net Zero Emmision target by encouraging programs that have direct impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). All efforts are in line with Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) commitment in all business and operational lines of Pertamina.
