Pertamina and Hyundai Collaborate on Waste-to-Hydrogen Project in Bandung
Key Ideas
- Pertamina, Hyundai, and the West Java Provincial Government are working together to create a waste-to-hydrogen ecosystem in Bandung, Indonesia.
- The project aims to convert organic waste from the Sarimukti final waste disposal site into biomethane, which will then be processed into hydrogen fuel for vehicles.
- This collaboration is seen as a step towards energy independence, job creation, and addressing environmental issues related to waste management and methane emissions in West Java.
- The hydrogen ecosystem project, targeted to start operating in 2029, will involve Pertamina subholdings and Hyundai's expertise in modular reforming technology and hydrogen vehicles.
PT Pertamina (Persero) is teaming up with Hyundai Motor Group and the West Java Provincial Government to establish a waste-to-hydrogen (W2H) ecosystem in Bandung, West Java. The initiative aims to leverage the Sarimukti final waste disposal site to produce low-carbon hydrogen by converting organic waste into biomethane and then hydrogen fuel. This collaboration signifies a move towards clean energy and sustainability, aligning with Pertamina's commitment to promoting environmentally friendly practices. The project, scheduled to commence operations in 2029, envisions entering the hydrogen market in Indonesia. Pertamina's involvement includes three subholdings contributing based on their expertise, with a focus on encouraging energy independence and job creation. Hyundai's role brings in advanced technology for hydrogen production and infrastructure development. The project addresses waste management and environmental challenges in West Java, offering a sustainable solution. Sumasna from the West Java Provincial Secretariat highlights the significance of effective waste management for mitigating environmental issues and harnessing the benefits of waste-to-hydrogen conversion.
