Indonesia's Groundbreaking Green Ammonia Project with Japanese Collaboration
Key Ideas
- PT Pupuk Indonesia partners with ITOCHU and TOYO to develop the world's first hybrid green ammonia project, enhancing Indonesia's industrialization.
- The project aims to produce green ammonia using renewable energy sources, with technology that eliminates carbon emissions.
- Green ammonia from the project will be used as a raw material for marine fuel, establishing a comprehensive value chain and boosting the national economy.
- Recognized by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, the initiative is part of future-oriented projects in ASEAN, marking a significant milestone in sustainable development.
PT Pupuk Indonesia is collaborating with ITOCHU Corporation and Toyo Engineering Corporation to develop the world's first hybrid green ammonia project. The Joint Development Agreement, named 'Green Ammonia Initiative from Aceh' (Project GAIA), was signed during the 2nd Asia Zero Emission Community Ministerial Meeting in Jakarta. This partnership aims to advance industrialization in Indonesia through the production of green ammonia, with a positive impact expected on the national economy. The project will see green ammonia produced at the PIM-2 fertilizer plant in Aceh, using an electrolyzer to extract hydrogen from water molecules for the ammonia synthesis process. The initiative, which eliminates carbon emissions, will supply green ammonia to ITOCHU for marine fuel, establishing a comprehensive value chain. Recognized by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, the project is part of future-oriented initiatives in ASEAN, showcasing a significant leap towards sustainable development.
