Pertamina Uses Modern Electronic Technology For Green Hydrogen Production In Ulubelu

This facility is targeted to be capable of producing up to approximately 100 kilograms of green hydrogen per day with an efficiency rate of 8288 percent using modern membrane electrolysis technology or the Membrane Anion Exchange (AEM) that is more environmentally friendly, energy efficient, and efficient than conventional technology.

President Director of PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk Julfi Hadi emphasized that this project is a strategic stepping stone to strengthen Indonesia's position in the global clean energy supply chain.

Through this project, PGE combines geothermal with modern electrolysis technology to produce efficient and sustainable green hydrogen. We want to make Ulubelu a center of innovation that can be replicated in other geothermal regions, as well as open up opportunities for utilization for low-carbon and industrial transportation," he explained, Thursday, September 11.

Julfi added that this facility not only supports the energy transition, but will also encourage downstream derivative products.

This Groundbreaking is PGE's early foothold to build a wider green business chain. Going forward, our roadmap includes the development of green ammonia and green methanol as energy solutions and raw materials for the future industry," he said.

Through this step, PGE emphasized the business transformation towards beyond electricity and beyond business, making geothermal the foundation of the clean energy supply chain while strengthening national energy security.
