Indonesia is striving to expedite its energy transition by collaborating with private parties to develop the green hydrogen and green ammonia value chain, as well as carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology.
The government is taking great efforts in reducing the utilisation of coal at power plants and an early shutdown of coal-fired power plants, as Indonesia moves in tandem with global trends.
The country has already developed ammonia and biomass co-firing as well as the utilisation of carbon capture technology to reduce the usage of coal at power plants and this new direction will further push the ambition for greener energy. Indonesia has stated its commitment to cutting carbon emissions by 29 percent by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2060.
The development of green hydrogen and green ammonia is a natural transition as it is already expensive to transport the material, hence transforming it to become ammonia can reduce logistics costs.
Indonesia adds that green hydrogen will be used to produce green ammonia and will be utilised for ammonia co-combustion in coal-fired power plants.
