Abstract

Summary

Pertamina, Indonesia’s national energy company, is advancing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) hubs as part of its strategy to achieve Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2060, targeting a 29% CO2 reduction by 2030. These hubs integrate geological, logistical, and regulatory frameworks to capture CO2 from industrial sources and store it in saline aquifers and depleted reservoirs. Key projects are in the Asri Basin, Kutai Basin, and Offshore North West Java (ONWJ), each selected for secure, large-scale storage capacity. Geological assessments confirm the suitability of formations such as the Upper Talang Akar, Balikpapan, and Attaka West sandstones, sealed by thick marine shales. Proximity to major emission sources minimizes transport costs, using pipelines, repurposed vessels, and existing gas infrastructure. Indonesia’s regulatory structure, including MEMR Regulation 2/2023 and Presidential Regulation 14/2024, supports both domestic and cross-border CO2 storage with incentives and monetization through carbon trading. Pertamina’s CCS hubs also enable blue hydrogen and ammonia production, enhance energy security, and position Indonesia as a regional leader in carbon management. This integrated approach demonstrates the technical feasibility, economic viability, and strategic importance of CCS in decarbonizing hard-to-reduce sectors while supporting regional low-carbon value chains.
