JAKARTA, RAKYAT NEWS— The Indonesian Giant company Pertamina has announced a strategic collaboration with Siemens Energy to accelerate Indonesia’s transition to a sustainable and affordable energy future.

Siemens Energy is a global leader in the energy sector, providing products, solutions, and services across the energy value chain. Headquartered in Munich, Germany, the company is at the forefront of driving the energy transition towards a more sustainable and efficient future. Siemens Energy focuses on technologies for power generation, transmission, and industrial applications, offering innovative solutions that support the decarbonization of the global energy system.

The company’s portfolio includes conventional and renewable energy solutions such as gas turbines, wind turbines, and hydrogen technologies, alongside digitalization and service offerings. Siemens Energy also plays a crucial role in the development of energy storage systems and grid stabilization, which are vital for integrating renewable energy sources. With a strong emphasis on research and development, Siemens Energy continuously invests in pioneering technologies that enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

In addition to its technological capabilities, Siemens Energy is committed to sustainability and corporate responsibility. The company works closely with governments, industries, and communities worldwide to support their energy transition goals. Siemens Energy’s mission is to empower societies by ensuring a reliable, affordable, and environmentally sustainable energy supply, contributing to global efforts in tackling climate change.

“We are taking a proactive and visionary step forward in energy leadership with this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Pertamina and Siemens Energy,” said Salyadi Saputra, Director of Strategy, Portfolio, and Business Development at Pertamina, during a press release on Thursday in Jakarta.

The collaboration, formalized through an MoU signed in Jakarta, outlines business opportunities and potential collaborations for technology acceleration. The MoU was signed by Salyadi Saputra and Thorbjörn Fors, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Siemens Energy Asia Pacific.

“This partnership is a commitment by both companies to sustainability, innovation, and energy advancement,” Salyadi added.

He emphasized that this collaboration is more than just a strategic alliance. It represents a synergy of expertise, resources, and collective efforts to address the energy trilemma: ensuring energy that is secure, sustainable, and affordable for current and future generations.

The collaboration reflects the integration of energy and technology companies to generate innovative technologies. It also creates added value for stakeholders, communities, and the environment.

“We will leverage the potential of renewable energy resources as part of the energy transition while simultaneously driving economic growth,” Salyadi explained.

Siemens Energy also expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, noting that both Pertamina and Siemens Energy share a common vision of becoming sustainable companies and advancing the energy transition in Indonesia.

“Indonesia has the potential to lead the energy transition, and our partnership with Pertamina lays the foundation for building a sustainable future for the country. Siemens Energy is not just a technology provider; we are a partner in shaping a new energy landscape rooted in tradition and progress,” said Thorbjörn Fors.

Andilo Harahap, Managing Director of Siemens Energy Indonesia, added that this collaboration represents the beginning of a shared vision.

“We aim to optimize and use advanced technology to produce energy efficiently while maintaining environmental protection through emissions reduction,” said Andilo.

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)
