Hyundai Motor Group has unveiled its action plans to establish a waste-to-hydrogen (W2H) ecosystem in West Java Province, Indonesia, during the Global Hydrogen Ecosystem Summit held in Jakarta. This initiative involves collaboration with Pertamina and Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to build sustainable hydrogen solutions. By 2027, the Group aims to launch an on-site hydrogen refueling station using low-carbon hydrogen sourced from biogas at the Sarimukti landfill, contributing to waste management and environmental sustainability. The project also focuses on improving local living conditions and safety at the landfill site through partnerships with organizations like Good Neighbors and Sejin G&E. Hyundai's commitment to corporate social responsibility is evident in its efforts to prevent disasters and provide healthcare and drinking water access to the community. Furthermore, the partnership with Pertamina highlights the development of a comprehensive hydrogen ecosystem, covering aspects like land provision for refueling stations, hydrogen production, transport, and vehicle utilization. The collaboration not only addresses waste management challenges but also supports low carbon hydrogen production, aligning with Indonesia's national hydrogen roadmap. Jaeha Park, Vice President of Hyundai Motor Group, emphasized the significance of this project as the first expansion of the W2H model from Korea to an overseas market. The Group's goal is to accelerate the transition to a hydrogen society in collaboration with the Indonesian government and companies. Hyundai's success in expanding its waste-to-hydrogen model to Indonesia signifies a proactive approach towards sustainable solutions and showcases a positive step towards a greener future.
