Pertamina’s Innovations Support Energy Transition in Indonesia

New Delhi, India, Aug 23, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – As a state-owned energy company, PT Pertamina (Persero) continues to develop technological innovations for operational decarbonization to support Indonesia's energy transition. This commitment was emphasized by Oki Muraza, Senior Vice President of Research & Technology Innovation of Pertamina, during his participation in the B20 Sustainability Summit in New Delhi, India, from August 22 to 27, 2023.

Oki Muraza explained that Pertamina's operational decarbonization is focused on Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS/CCS) technology development and Biofuel. [Image: Pertamina]


Oki Muraza explained that Pertamina's operational decarbonization is focused on the Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS/CCS) technology development and Biofuel. "Pertamina has the initiative to implement CCS or CCUS through CO2 injection technology, first applied at the Jatibarang Field in West Java. This technology could enhance oil and natural gas production through CO2-EOR while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions," stated Oki.

Oki continued that in addition to carbon capture and utilization technology to support the energy transition, Pertamina is also committed to developing Bio Refineries or Green Refineries to produce more environmentally friendly fuels. 'These green refineries process renewable raw materials such as palm oil (RBDPO) and used cooking oil (UCO)," he added.

Currently, according to Oki, Pertamina's operational Bio Refineries include the Cilacap Bio-Refinery and Dumai Bio-Refinery, which produce HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), Green Gasoline, and the Plaju Bio-Refinery and Cilacap Bio-Refinery, Green Diesel at the Dumai Bio-Refinery, as well as Green AvturJ2 at the Cilacap Bio-Refinery.

"We also aim to implement bioethanol, using various raw materials, including waste from palm oil such as Oil Palm's Empty Bunches," Oki added.

According to Oki, the Covid-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions have significantly impact global energy price volatility, supply shortages, security issues, and economic uncertainties, causing a shift in the short-term focus of energy transition towards energy resilience.

"While developed countries focus on sustainability, developing countries prioritize energy security and affordability, as they act as catalysts for economic growth," he conveyed.

Pertamina, as a leading company in the energy transition, is committed to supporting the Net Zero Emission 2060 target by continuously promoting programs that directly impact the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) achievement. All these efforts align with Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) implementation across all Pertamina's business lines and operations.

Bio-Generative Artist Agoria Concludes Scorpios, Mykonos’ $3m Summer Art Program

LONDON, Aug 23, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – French AI artist and polyhyphenate creative Agoria will on 24 August 2023 launch his new collection of bio-generative artworks 'Bohem-IA' in the highly anticipated closing act of the successful Encounters 'In Resonance' 7-week summer arts program at Scorpios, Mykonos (ends 3 September 2023).



The program is part of a visionary experimental platform created by renowned Mykonos-based creative and culture collective, Scorpios, to explore innovative art and culture experiences and the artists bold enough to make them. For the inaugural edition of Encounters, Scorpios collaborated with London-based contemporary art gallery and tech entrepreneurs HOFA to curate an unprecedented collaboration between artists and musicians.
So far, sales of the artwork collections released have topped $3m, with secondary sales in excess of $800k and counting.

One of many highlights of 'In Resonance' was the release of 'Winds of Yawanawa', a series of sold-out digital artworks by the popular Turkish-American generative artist, Refik Anadol, co-created with the Yawanawa Indigenous communities of Aldeia Sagrada and Nova Esperanca. The artwork series was commissioned by Impact One as part of its Possible Futures program, to reflect the dynamic interrelationship between Yawanawa culture and the Amazon Forest. Pre-sales of this collection sold out within hours and the project has raised $1.5m so far, thanks to Anadol and Impact One's donations to support long-term initiatives for the protection of Yawanawa heritage.

Agoria is a veteran generative artist, having begun his exploration of AI-based artworks using bespoke models inspired by the organic forms and the vibrance of living systems in the mid-2010s. He is a talented DJ, music producer, AI-model developer, scientist, and expert on the role of technology in creating and mediating art experiences.

In 'Bohem-IA', Agoria celebrates the creative, collaborative ethos of Scorpios and the captivating beauty of Mykonos Island. The collection of 22 unique works conjures the magnificent vibrance of the Island's coral reefs, alive with colour and motion, and the life-giving luminosity of the sunlight that bathes it through the pristine waters of the coast. It is as much an ode to nature's matchless palette of chameleonic hues as it is a celebration of what has made Scorpios, Mykonos a summer gathering place for artists and art lovers alike.

Shedding light on the inspiration behind 'Bohem-IA', Agoria explains, "Scorpios Mykonos is a very special place. It's an artistic and cultural sanctuary that has given AI artists like me a rare platform to showcase our work and experiment with new, innovative models this summer. 'Bohem-IA' is my way of celebrating the unique essence of Scorpios."

For HOFA Co-Founder and art-tech Entrepreneur Elio D'Anna, it is fitting that the closing act of Scorpios Encounters' 'In Resonance' will be an emphatic visual homage to the values that inspired it. "HOFA was one of the first contemporary galleries in the world to embrace the role of technology and Web3 in creating art and delivering new, exciting art experiences. The success of our partnership with Scorpios, bringing the world's best generative artists to collaborate with musicians and musical directors, is as clear an indication as ever that the market for digital art is maturing and is here to stay."

This collaboration can strengthen cooperation between African countries and globally," President Director of Pertamina Nicke Widyawati said during her visit to Kenya, Africa, on Monday (21/8).

In the upstream business, the upstream sub-holding subsidiary, PT Pertamina Internasional EP (PIEP), is exploring the potential for cooperation with the National Oil Corporation of Kenya (NOCK). This exploration is the first step for Pertamina's upstream footprint abroad, strengthening national energy security.

"Spirit brings the barrel home; Pertamina's footprint in the upstream sector is to increase production so that it can be processed at Pertamina's domestic refineries," Nicke said.

Nicke revealed that Pertamina also has opportunities to expand in various energy fields with the government-to-government (G-to-G) collaboration between the Government of Indonesia and the Government of Kenya. This bilateral cooperation also opens investment opportunities and collaboration for Pertamina in the African region.

"We appreciate the role of the government, including the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, in supporting Pertamina's expansion efforts on the global stage," she explained.

Before the visit, Pertamina had a Memorandum of Understanding with GUMA, an African energy company, regarding strategic alliances for potential upstream, midstream, and downstream business projects.

The collaboration includes the exploration and production of oil and gas fields, the development of oil and gas pipelines, and the development of oil and petrochemical refineries. Apart from that, Pertamina also trades petroleum products in Kenya. According to Nicke, cooperation beneficial to the Indonesian state will be prioritized in every collaboration carried out by the Pertamina Group.

"We bring the government's spirit, the spirit of the 1955 Asian-African Conference. We are now working together on economic development. Pertamina opens opportunities for cooperation in the upstream and downstream sectors, including geothermal in Kenya," Nicke said.

Meanwhile, Vice President of Pertamina, Fadjar Djoko Santoso, added that Pertamina had brought several sub-holdings to explore the potential for cooperation in Africa. These collaborations will further strengthen national energy security and realize the company's role as a global energy company. "We are open to all business cooperation opportunities that positively impact Pertamina and the country," Fadjar said.
