PT Pertamina Geothermal Power with France-based Genvia shall be exploring for potential inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing in Indonesia utilizing geothermal sources.
PT Pertamina Energy Indonesia (“Pertamina NRE”), PT Pertamina Geothermal Power Tbk (“PGE”), and Genvia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate in creating inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing by way of the combination of superior stable oxide electrolyzer (SOEL) expertise with geothermal warmth sources. The signing occurred through the Indonesia – France Enterprise Discussion board on September 26, 2024.
The settlement features a technical and financial research of using Genvia’s superior high-temperature SOEL expertise to scale back power consumption in inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing. The research shall be carried out at certainly one of PGE’s geothermal websites.
Genvia is a France-based public-private three way partnership specializing in inexperienced hydrogen expertise as a method to deal with the decarbonization problem by accelerating large-scale deployment of inexpensive inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing. A central a part of the corporate’s mission is the event of the world’s best Strong Oxide Electrolyzer resolution that’s cost-effective, dependable and sustainable.
“By means of our collaboration with Pertamina NRE and PGE, we see nice potential in combining Genvia’s superior expertise with Indonesia’s considerable geothermal sources to drive a sustainable power future. By exploring the potential of high-temperature SOEL expertise, we intention to unlock new efficiencies in inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing,” mentioned Florence Lambert, CEO of Genvia.
PGE, the geothermal subsidiary of Pertamina NRE, will present the geothermal supply for the research. The collaboration leverages PGE’s geothermal experience and Pertamina NRE’s broader clear power portfolio, which incorporates renewables, inexperienced hydrogen, battery storage, electrical autos, and carbon companies.
“We at Pertamina NRE are very enthusiastic in regards to the collaboration with Genvia, which we consider will considerably speed up the event of inexperienced hydrogen in Indonesia. This collaboration underlines our dedication to discover modern options to attain more cost effective hydrogen manufacturing and maximize Indonesia’s inexperienced power potential, comparable to geothermal. We consider that it will convey many advantages to Indonesia, together with lowering carbon emissions,” mentioned John Anis, CEO of Pertamina NRE.
The primary geothermal-based inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing facility in Indonesia (and in Southeast Asia) was opened earlier this 12 months on the Kamojang geothermal energy plant in West Java. The ability has an output of 4.3 tons per 12 months, or roughly equal to the gasoline requirement of 438 vehicles overlaying 100 kilometers of distance per day.
In supporting this collaboration, the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to France, Andorra, Monaco, and UNESCO, Mohamad Oemar, expressed his optimism in the direction of this collaboration, “We hope that this collaboration can speed up Indonesia’s achievement in the direction of zero emissions,” he mentioned.
Vice President of Company Communication of PT Pertamina (Persero), Fadjar Djoko Santoso mentioned, the event of hydrogen manufacturing is certainly one of Pertamina’s power transition initiatives that helps the inexperienced enterprise program.
“Clear hydrogen is certainly one of Pertamina’s future companies. This collaboration will speed up the goal of attaining new renewable power in Indonesia,” mentioned Fadjar.
Pertamina as a number one firm within the power transition sector, is dedicated to supporting the Web Zero Emission 2060 goal by persevering with to encourage packages which have a direct affect on attaining the Sustainable Growth Objectives (SDGs). All of those efforts are according to the implementation of Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) throughout all of Pertamina’s enterprise strains and operations.
