PT PLN to Lead Hydrogen Economy in Indonesia

PT PLN (Persero) has emerged as a significant player in Indonesia’s pursuit of a hydrogen-powered future.

Indonesia’s government has thrown its weight behind the hydrogen initiative, recognizing its potential for economic growth and energy transition. Deputy for Coordination of Maritime Sovereignty and Energy at the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Jodi Mahardi, highlighted the economic advantages of hydrogen technology during the Indonesia International Hydrogen Summit in Jakarta. Mahardi stated that Indonesia is well-positioned to meet future export demands for low-carbon hydrogen.

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has developed a National Hydrogen Strategy, which outlines a comprehensive roadmap for hydrogen development. This strategic framework emphasizes regional cooperation in Southeast Asia and robust policy support to enhance hydrogen production. These efforts are crucial for fostering Indonesia’s leadership in the global hydrogen economy.

PLN’s President Director, Darmawan Prasodjo, emphasized the company’s dedication to hydrogen development, aligning with Indonesia’s broader goal of achieving Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2060. Prasodjo described hydrogen as a key pillar in reducing emissions and supporting the energy transition.

Adi Lumakso, PLN’s Generation Management Director, detailed the company’s progress in creating a comprehensive green hydrogen ecosystem. Utilizing geothermal and solar power plants, along with renewable energy certificates, PLN has established 22 Green Hydrogen Plants (GHP) producing 203 tons of green hydrogen annually. Of this output, 75 tons are used for plant operations, while the remaining 128 tons are allocated for various applications, including hydrogen vehicles.

Globally, the hydrogen energy sector is characterized by rapid advancements and intense competition. Companies like Air Liquide, Linde, and Siemens Energy are at the forefront of hydrogen technology development. PLN’s achievements, while notable, must be viewed in the context of these global benchmarks.

For instance, Air Liquide has invested heavily in hydrogen production and infrastructure, including large-scale electrolyzers and hydrogen refueling stations. Similarly, Linde has developed advanced hydrogen storage and distribution solutions. PLN’s initiatives, such as Indonesia’s first Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS) in Senayan, Jakarta, inaugurated in February 2024, mark significant progress. However, scaling these efforts to match global leaders will require substantial investment and technological innovation.
