A part of the investment will be used to expand its low-carbon electricity generation capacity to 6 GW from 2.6 GW, and to support clean hydrogen, bioethanol and electric vehicle batteries.
The NRE eyes to produce 7,000 tonnes of clean hydrogen each year by 2029.
Pertamina is a “strong arm” of the Indonesian government in realising the country’s ambition of carbon neutrality by 2060 or sooner./.
