The MoU includes three key programs. The first is Power-to-X technology, an innovative method for producing and storing renewable energy. The second is utilizing waste heat from upstream water processes to improve energy efficiency and sustainability. The third program is decarbonizing the maritime sector to monitor and manage carbon emissions in the industry.

Oki Muraza, SVP of Research & Technology Innovation at Pertamina, emphasized that utilizing this advanced heat technology from Siemens Energy is a significant leap forward. It will enhance the efficiency of upstream operations while reducing carbon footprints, contributing to the circular economy within the energy sector.

Fadjar Djoko Santoso, Vice President of Corporate Communication at Pertamina, highlighted that Pertamina is collaborating with various business partners, government agencies, and academics to develop sustainable energy potential and efforts toward decarbonization.

This collaboration is expected to support Pertamina’s role in maintaining national energy security while achieving Indonesia’s Net Zero Emission target.

“These energy and sustainability initiatives are crucial as Indonesia strives to meet international environmental standards and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change,” Fadjar concluded. (Uki Ruknuddin)
