JUN. 24-25 | JAKARTA, INDONESIA | IN-PERSON EVENT
Indonesia is rapidly advancing its regulatory framework for low-carbon hydrogen and carbon capture. The National Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap target hydrogen/ammonia to contribute 10–12% of primary energy supply by 2060. The newly published Low-Carbon Hydrogen Standard (SNI 9435:2026) sets emissions thresholds (≤9.53 kg CO₂e/kg H₂ for low-carbon; ≤4 kg CO₂e/kg H₂ for clean hydrogen), providing a voluntary certification pathway aligned with life-cycle principles. For carbon capture, Presidential Regulation No. 14/2024 and Ministerial Regulation No. 16/2024 govern CCS implementation, while Presidential Regulation No. 110/2025 integrates CCS into the national carbon economic value system. Implementing rules due in June 2026 will enable CCS activities to generate tradable carbon assets. The national carbon market is set for full operation by end-June 2026, creating new revenue streams for CCS projects. With green hydrogen production targets of ~200 tons/year for 2026 and active international partnerships, Indonesia is positioning itself as a key emerging market for low-carbon energy investment.
Indonesia is mobilizing substantial capital to accelerate its hydrogen and carbon capture ambitions. International climate finance is a key driver, with the country disbursing approximately USD 3.5 billion from the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) and Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC) programs. Total JETP green financing commitments alone stand at USD 21.4 billion . Domestically, the 2026 State Budget has allocated IDR 404.2 trillion (~USD 24 billion) to strengthen energy security and green initiatives. Private investment is also gaining traction. Equator Renewables Asia recently raised S$50 million to develop large-scale solar and green hydrogen projects in Indonesia, including a 2.2 GWp solar PV pipeline and green hydrogen facilities . Pertamina is investing approximately USD 3 million in a pioneering geothermal-powered green hydrogen pilot project in Ulubelu, targeting production by late 2026. The government is actively offering hydrogen ecosystem projects at the Global Hydrogen Ecosystem Summit 2026 to attract further capital, with key projects in Ulubelu, Lahendong, Sumba, and East Java. For carbon capture, Indonesia is positioning itself as a regional storage hub, leveraging partnerships with BP, ExxonMobil, Chevron, and JOGMEC to bring in foreign capital and technology . The upcoming national carbon market (targeting full operation by end-June 2026) is expected to unlock additional revenue streams for CCS projects through carbon credit trading.
Indonesia is advancing low-carbon technology innovation through strategic partnerships and pioneering pilot projects. Pertamina is collaborating with POSCO International to develop CCS, CCUS, and blue hydrogen technologies , while a geothermal-powered green hydrogen pilot at Ulubelu uses anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolysis with 82-88% efficiency . At Kamojang, HyET's proton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis (p-SOEC) converts geothermal steam and CO₂ directly into syngas for e-fuels like sustainable aviation fuel. Research collaborations are accelerating deployment: CO2CRC and Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) have established a joint Indo-Australian CCUS research partnership , while ITB studies demonstrate up to 90% emission reduction from gas refineries using membrane separation and SMR technologies, producing blue hydrogen at $1.00-2.00 per kg . Additionally, PLN Indonesia Power is studying CCS implementation at the Pangkalan Susu power plant as a national pilot . These innovations position Indonesia as an emerging CCUS and hydrogen technology hub.
Indonesia is actively building its domestic supply chain for hydrogen and carbon capture technologies through strategic partnerships and localization efforts. CIMC ENRIC has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with PT SAMATOR, an Indonesian industrial gas provider, to jointly develop hydrogen storage and transportation equipment, energy EPC projects, and after-sales service systems in the local market . This partnership strengthens Indonesia's capacity to manufacture and deploy clean energy infrastructure domestically. For carbon capture, Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) plans to launch 12 CCS/CCUS projects targeting 7.3 gigatons of CO2 storage capacity, managing the full CCS/CCUS value chain domestically . The government has also issued regulations allowing CCS operators to set aside 30% of storage capacity for imported CO2, positioning Indonesia as a regional carbon storage hub. Indonesia's chemical industry is leveraging local natural gas, biomass, and agricultural byproducts to support low-carbon chemical production including blue ammonia and sustainable aviation fuel feedstocks, creating integrated supply chain platforms . These developments demonstrate Indonesia's commitment to building self-reliant, end-to-end supply chains for the low-carbon economy.
Indonesia is transitioning from pilot projects to large-scale deployment. The National Hydrogen Roadmap phases development from 2025-2060, targeting integration across industry, power, and transport . Green hydrogen production must reach ~200 tons/year in 2026 as a key performance indicator. Major CCS projects are advancing toward operation. The Tangguh CCUS project will inject ~25 million tons of CO₂ for enhanced gas recovery, removing up to 90% of reservoir-associated emissions . Indonesia's 15 CCS/CCUS projects are scheduled to commence between 2026-2030, leveraging an estimated 400-600 gigatons of geological storage capacity. International partnerships are accelerating industrialization. Pertamina is collaborating with POSCO on CCS and blue hydrogen technologies , while the $20.9 billion Masela gas project incorporates CCS . Indonesia is positioning itself as a regional low-carbon production and storage hub, with blue ammonia exports targeting Japan and South Korea markets.
Water availability and efficiency are critical considerations for Indonesia's hydrogen and carbon capture scale-up. Green hydrogen production via electrolysis requires high-purity water, placing additional demand on resources in a nation facing freshwater stress in several regions. To address this, the government is promoting integrated water-energy solutions. A landmark $10 billion partnership between ACWA Power, Pertamina, and Danantara is developing a green hydrogen project combined with seawater desalination, directly tackling water scarcity while producing low-carbon fuel. This model aligns with the National Hydrogen Roadmap's phased approach, which emphasizes infrastructure development. For carbon capture, water efficiency is managed through regulatory requirements. Operators must conduct feasibility studies covering environmental impacts and risk mitigation before project approval. While specific water efficiency standards are still evolving, the integration of CCS into the carbon economic value system (Presidential Regulation No. 110/2025) incentivizes sustainable operations, indirectly promoting responsible water management across the project lifecycle.
