Hyundai Motor Group has announced its strategic collaboration with key Indonesian partners, including Pertamina and West Java Province, to establish a waste-to-hydrogen (W2H) ecosystem in Indonesia. This marks the company's first overseas expansion of its hydrogen production model. The initiative aims to develop an on-site hydrogen refueling station in West Java Province by 2027, utilizing the existing compressed natural gas (CNG) infrastructure of Pertamina. The station will be fueled with low-carbon hydrogen produced from biogas at the Sarimukti landfill near Bandung, the capital of West Java. Hyundai's expansion into Indonesia builds on its successful W2H projects in South Korea, where organic waste and sewage sludge are converted into hydrogen in facilities located in Chungju and Paju. The Indonesian project falls under Hyundai's hydrogen business brand, HTWO, emphasizing the company's commitment to sustainability and renewable energy. The collaboration with Indonesian partners highlights Hyundai's efforts towards international partnerships in advancing the energy transition and promoting environmentally friendly practices.
