PLN EPI builds green hydrogen ecosystem for industry and aviation
PLN EPI, a subsidiary of Indonesia's state electricity provider, is developing an integrated green hydrogen ecosystem aimed at supplying low-carbon energy to heavy industries and the sustainable aviation sector. The initiative aligns with the PLN Group's strategy to promote a low-carbon energy system, incorporating technologies like renewable energy, CCUS, and energy storage. Initially, the focus is on high-demand industrial sectors such as fertilizers, oil refining, and steel manufacturing, which are seen as foundational for green hydrogen commercialization. PLN EPI is also exploring the e-SAF market, where green hydrogen is used to create low-carbon jet fuel through a closed-carbon-loop system. The project faces challenges including ecosystem development, technological advancement, and market readiness. The effort reflects Indonesia's broader push to position itself as a leader in the green hydrogen industry.

Indonesia's Deputy Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, stated that optimizing the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program could boost domestic dairy milk demand, which remains very low at 16.7 kilograms per capita annually. He emphasized the importance of increasing consumption for improved public nutrition and reducing reliance on imports. Nurofiq highlighted the need for stronger domestic production, noting current fresh milk production in 2025 was 820,874.80 tons, with significant contributions from East, West, and Central Java. He mentioned technological advancements in livestock could allow dairy farming to expand beyond mountainous regions. The government aims to balance increased demand with enhanced local production to benefit farmers and reduce import dependency.
