On 24 November, President Joko Widodo kicked off Indonesia’s first #carbon storage project, the Ubadari carbon capture, utilization, and storage (#CCUS) project. The Ubadari CCUS kickoff followed the inauguration of bp's Tangguh Train III, completed last month for USD 4.8 billion, and has made Tangguh the largest gas-producing facility in Indonesia. Here’s a summary of key details: 📍 Location: Bintuni, West Papua - as one of fifteen Indonesian CCS/CCUS projects in various stages of development, with a combined investment of USD 8 billion 💵 Investment: bp is set to operate the project with an investment of USD 2.6 billion, per an energy ministry statement last September. This figure is yet to be confirmed by the company 🌱 Potential: The facility will potentially store up to 1.8 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent, equal to the yearly emissions of roughly 380 million passenger cars (per my rough estimation based on Spring Free EV data). Carbon injection to the plant is set to start in 2026 🍲 Food for thought: The International Energy Agency (IEA) has reported "excessive expectations and reliance on CCUS," in a recent report on the role of oil and gas companies in the #netzero transition. Companies will need to cut their own emissions, diversify, and scale up other decarbonizing technologies for the sector to further accelerate the transition We await further developments

Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) is delving into the natural hydrogen potential in eastern Indonesia. This pioneering initiative is being carried out in close collaboration with esteemed partners, including the Faculty of Exploration and Production Technology, Pertamina University, the Geological Survey Center, and the Geological Agency of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (KESDM). PHE has initiated the G&G study of the potential for natural hydrogen, also known as geologic hydrogen, in East Sulawesi Ophiolite. This study, kickstarted through a meeting held in Bandung (05/06), is driven by the company’s proactive preparation for clean energy exploration. The latest research from the Geological Survey Center (PSG) in the East Sulawesi Opholite area has successfully identified the presence of geologic hydrogen through the Tanjung Api seepage gas and the Bahodopi Hot Spring in the Matano Fault route, further fueling our optimism about the potential of this clean energy source.

1st WINNER (GOLD) paper competition at Indonesian Knowledge Management Summit (IKMS) 2023. PT. Kilang Pertamina Internasional (KPI) initiated this event as a form of innovation and knowledge, especially in green energy. The topic of this event is “The Future Green Energy and Sustainable Development”, which have several sub-themes, such as: Green Energy Production, Infrastructure, and Integration System; Refinery and Petrochemical Innovation; ESG in Industrial Area to Support Sustainability Development; Digitalizarion on Sustainability Implementation and Monitoring; and Environmental Compliance in Industrial Sector to support Sustainability. Through this summit, we proposed a machine learning (AI) to model and monitor the failures of the efficiency and reliability in solar power plants (SPP) in real-time, using obtained data training and data testing. Our model could detect the failures, so that preventive measures can be prepared and fatal damage to the SPP can be avoided. We hope these findings can be more useful in the community, especially in sustainable energy sectors. #sustainableenergy #renewableenergy #electrification #pertamina #machinelearning #ikms2023 #energytransition

An Exciting Monthly Recap of My MSIB Kampus Merdeka Journey! 🌟 The second month (April) of my participation in AMATI Indonesia and GAWIREA's Independent Study Program has been more exciting than the previous month. I gained more knowledge and inspiration from the outstanding speakers and engaging classes, and I'm excited to share my continued growth and enrichment. Here are some highlights of the interesting classes I attended: 1. Youth Participation in Climate Justice 2. ESG Modelling to Support Climate Action 3. Theory of Change  4. Geothermal (Chapter 1, 2 & 3) The classes really energized me, deepened my understanding, and inspired me to dive further into the world of renewable energy. One of the most inspiring sessions for me was led by Mr. Bayu Yoga Prawira, where we delved into geothermal power generation. The class was divided into 3 sessions and provided valuable insights on how to explore for geothermal, the intricacies of geothermal power generation, and the latest advancements in the field. It was strengthened my commitment to pursue a career in renewable energy. #KampusMerdeka #MSIB #StudiIndependen #AmatiIndonesia #WallaceaProject #JagaWallaceaJagaIndonesia #NetZeroHero

𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝘈𝘋𝘏𝘐 𝘒𝘢𝘳𝘺𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘎𝘢𝘴 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 Exciting news from ADHI Karya (Persero) Tbk as they recently inked two groundbreaking contracts for the construction of gas engine power plants (PLTMGs) in Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara, and Tobelo, North Maluku. These power plants, slated to be owned by PLN, mark a significant step towards advancing Indonesia's energy infrastructure. The total value of ADHI's involvement in these contracts stands at an impressive Rp701.1 billion. In a collaborative effort to bring these projects to fruition, ADHI Karya has partnered with Korea Electric Power Corporation Engineering & Construction, Inc. (KEPCO) through a joint operation (JO) scheme. The signing ceremony, attended by key industry figures including ADHI's President Director Entus Asnawi Mukhson, KEPCO's CEO Sung Arm Km, and PLN's President Director Darmawan Prasodjo, emphasizes the importance of international cooperation in meeting Indonesia's growing energy needs. The PLTMG project in Tobelo, boasting a capacity of 30 MW, sees ADHI Karya taking a 52.8% stake, with KEPCO holding the remaining 47.2%. Similarly, in the Sumbawa project with a matching capacity, ADHI commands a 50.1% share, while KEPCO holds 49.9%. Construction for both projects is scheduled to commence by the end of 2023. This strategic collaboration aligns with the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry's directive to shift away from coal-fired power plants, emphasizing the pivotal role of gas engine power plants in achieving this transition. By leveraging the expertise of a South Korean company like KEPCO, ADHI Karya aims to contribute significantly to reducing CO2 emissions and ensuring environmental sustainability for future generations.
