Jakarta (ANTARA) – State-owned oil and gas firm PT Pertamina (Persero) continues to explore technological innovations for operational decarbonization in an effort to help Indonesia’s energy transition.Senior Vice President of Research and Technology Innovation for Pertamina Oki Murazaunderscored this commitment at the B20 Sustainability Summit in New Delhi, India, on August 22-27, 2023. ccording to Muraza, Pertamina’s operational decarbonization efforts are concentrated on the advancement of Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS/CCS) technology and biofuel. “With the help of CO2 injection technology, which was initially used at the Jatibarang Field in West Java, Pertamina has taken the initiative to install CCS or CCUS. Through CO2-EOR, this technique might increase oil and natural gas output while dramatically lowering greenhouse gas emissions,” he elaborated. “Pertamina is committed to developing biorefineries or green refineries to produce more environmentally friendly fuels in addition to carbon capture and utilization technology to support the energy transition,” he remarked. “These green refineries process renewable raw materials, such as palm oil (RBDPO) and used cooking oil (UCO),” he noted. Muraza stated that Pertamina currently operates the Cilacap Bio-Refinery, Dumai Bio-Refinery, Plaju Bio-Refinery, and Cilacap Bio-Refinery, all of which produce Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), Green Gasoline, Green Diesel, and Green AvturJ2 at the Cilacap Bio-Refinery.
