"This collaboration will be of important value for us to maintain the resilience of natural gas supply in various customer sectors. With the location of potential gas sources from Aceh, it means that this collaboration will utilize domestic gas supply for various future needs," said PGN Business Strategy and Development Director Rosa Permata Sari in a statement to the media quoted Friday, March 1.

Rosa hopes that this collaboration can run smoothly and comprehensively in order to achieve cooperation in natural gas commercialization.

With the technology we have, it is hoped that we can monetize gas and LNG with PGN to the market. We are also ambitious to channel cleaner energy. We believe that the energy transition requires gas where gas is the cleanest fossil energy and can play a major role towards Net Zero Emission," concluded Miltos.
