TOWARD TO INDONESIA DECARBONIZATION ENERGY PLANNING BY PROMOTING ECOSYSTEM OF HYDROGEN

Indonesia has committed to reduce the GHG (Green Houses Gaseous) emission in the Paris Agreement 2015, by reducing CO₂ emission 29% in 2030 with self-efforts, and of 41% with international assistances. To achieve this target, several programs have been conducted. Replacing fossil fuel with a renewable energy sources is the main concern, and some of ongoing programs are: the co-firing in coal power plants, and the replacement or converting oil fuel in diesel power plant (PLTD) with renewable energy sources. However, another breakthrough program is needed, and it needs to be accelerated for support the energy transition in Indonesia toward to net zero emission era.

PLN, as the biggest electricity company in Indonesia has a program road to net-zero emissions by 2060. The utilization of new and renewable energy sources for power generation will be increased to add electricity capacity of 1,500 TWh by 2060. This amount is five times larger than the existing capacity. Another program is to replace more than 5,000 diesel power plants (PLTD) with capacity about 2,000 megawatts by renewable energy-based power plants. An in line program is also committed by Pertamina, as the biggest oil-fuel company in Indonesia, to support the government in achieving the carbon neutral. Pertamina has a program to increase  the green energy portfolio to be at 17% by 2030. This program is implemented through the development of geothermal power plant, hydrogen energy, batteries for electric vehicle and energy storage systems (ESS), gasification, bioenergy, green refinery, circular carbon economy and new and renewable Energy program.

As a national agency for assessment and application of technology, BPPT has important role on the development of hydrogen fuel in Indonesia. BPPT has an existing program on the development of fuel cell electric vehicle through the combination concept in hybrid of PV – Hydrogen for power generation. Some initial studies have been conducted, and documented as a milestone of the development of hydrogen fuel in Indonesia. Therefore, this paper has been made with an aim to describe and promote the hydrogen-energy as a potential source of energy development in Indonesia. The role of hydrogen energy needs to be strengthened to support decarbonization program. An integrated strategy for the implementation should be assessed in the development of green hydrogen technology, through the research and development as well as through the policy.
