Hyundai's Waste-to-Hydrogen Initiative in Indonesia: Transforming Organic Waste into Clean Fuel
Key Ideas
- Hyundai Motor Group unveiled its waste-to-hydrogen ecosystem project in Indonesia, converting organic waste to clean hydrogen in West Java.
- The project, in partnership with the Indonesian government and Pertamina Holdings, aims to establish a circular hydrogen ecosystem by 2027.
- Collaboration with South Korean firms like Sejin E&E and Hyundai Rotem Co. will rehabilitate landfills and deploy advanced hydrogen technologies.
- Hyundai's initiative not only focuses on environmental benefits but also contributes to Indonesia's transition towards a hydrogen society.
Hyundai Motor Group has announced its plans for a waste-to-hydrogen ecosystem project in Indonesia at the Global Hydrogen Ecosystem Summit 2025 in Jakarta. The project, initially revealed at CES 2024, targets the conversion of organic waste into clean hydrogen in West Java, where Hyundai has a significant production presence. Working in partnership with the Indonesian government and Pertamina Holdings, Hyundai aims to create a circular hydrogen ecosystem by utilizing biogas extracted from rehabilitated landfills. Hyundai will collaborate with South Korean firms like Sejin E&E and Hyundai Rotem Co. to rehabilitate the Sarimukti landfill in West Java to prevent natural disasters and convert biogas into hydrogen. The group has completed a feasibility study and is in discussions with West Java authorities to commence infrastructure construction within the year. By 2027, a hydrogen reformer and fueling station will be established at a site provided by Pertamina Holdings, with plans for local hydrogen transport solutions. The project will deploy advanced South Korean hydrogen technologies through a consortium involving the Korea Testing Certification Institute and the Institute for Advanced Engineering. Hyundai sees this initiative as its first overseas expansion of a successful domestic waste-to-hydrogen project and aims to support Indonesia's shift towards a hydrogen society.
