Key Ideas
  • Hyundai Motor is launching its first overseas waste-to-hydrogen project in Indonesia, utilizing biogas from the Sarimukti landfill near Bandung.
  • The Waste-to-Hydrogen (W2H) solution aims to reduce costs, enhance energy independence, and promote local hydrogen production in Indonesia.
  • Through collaborations with local partners, Hyundai Motor plans to set up a hydrogen ecosystem, following successful domestic projects in Korea.
  • The project involves capping the landfill and converting biogas into hydrogen, aligning with Hyundai's vision for a hydrogen society and sustainable practices.
Hyundai Motor is embarking on a groundbreaking initiative by establishing its first overseas waste-to-hydrogen production site in Indonesia. The project involves converting biogas extracted from the Sarimukti landfill near Bandung into hydrogen using the Waste-to-Hydrogen (W2H) solution. This move is part of Hyundai's endeavor to create a hydrogen ecosystem in Indonesia through partnerships with local entities like Pertamina. The W2H solution offers benefits such as cost reduction, improved energy independence, and support for local hydrogen production. Hyundai Motor's collaboration with Sejin G&E and plans to commence biogas extraction align with their commitment to sustainability. By leveraging the success of their domestic hydrogen projects in Korea, Hyundai aims to introduce advanced hydrogen technologies to Indonesia and pave the way for a hydrogen-powered future. With the establishment of their manufacturing plant in Indonesia and the upcoming waste-to-hydrogen project, Hyundai Motor is taking significant steps towards advancing sustainable practices and fostering innovation in the region.
