The Global Hydrogen Ecosystem Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia, has kicked off with the aim of fostering international collaborations to establish hydrogen as a crucial component in the country's energy transition. Co-organized by various entities including the Indonesia Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, and state utility company PLN, the summit has brought together 2,500 participants from 10 countries for a three-day event at the Jakarta Convention Center. Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia highlighted Indonesia's dedication to the Paris climate agreement and the comprehensive shift towards renewable energy sources like hydrogen. With plans to double gas production over the next decade, Indonesia is gearing up to meet domestic market demands and promote downstreaming efforts, including hydrogen production. Indonesia's National Hydrogen Strategy focuses on leveraging hydrogen for decarbonization, energy security, and economic advancement. Eniya Listiani Dewi, director general of new and renewable energy sources at the energy ministry, emphasized the country's vast renewable energy potential and the significance of global collaboration at the summit. Notable collaborations include Hyundai's partnership with Pertamina to produce hydrogen from organic waste at a landfill near Bandung, West Java. This initiative, part of the waste to hydrogen ecosystem development project, aligns with Hyundai's commitment to expanding hydrogen production internationally. The project will see the establishment of a hydrogen refueling station utilizing Pertamina's infrastructure, marking a significant step towards a sustainable hydrogen society. The summit acts as a hub for stakeholders to engage in discussions, create partnerships, and drive innovation for the burgeoning hydrogen industry in Indonesia and globally.
