BayWa r.e. Eyes Expansion of Standalone Power Systems in Australia

PERTH, W AUSTRALIA, Sep 29, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – BayWa r.e., the global energy developer, service provider, and distributor, is looking to expand its offering on Standalone Power Systems (SPS) to more regions in the State of Western Australia, and in the future, nationally, to different market sectors that require remote or standalone power.


This follows the company's success in providing SPS to farming, mining, business communities and homeowners in parts of rural Western Australia at the beginning of 2018, who have greatly benefited from this innovative and cost-effective power source.

According to Western Power, the state owned corporation responsible for providing electricity in Western Australia, Western Australia has one of the largest isolated electricity networks in the world, and the provision of SPS at several sites in rural Western Australia in a trial exercise, helped ensure that the customers received adequate power supply.

Mr. Durmus Yildiz, Managing Director at BayWa r.e. Solar Systems Australia said "We are proud to be a part of powering the remote communities in the State of Western Australia and to be able to put our expertise in energy solutions to benefit the greater community. Through our network of trusted and capable off-grid installers, whom we work with to design and build such SPS. This has enabled BayWa r.e. to cater to different customers, depending on factors such as their required size of the system, location, or customer preference."

These SPS operate independently off the grid and supply continuous power 24 hours a day, using a mix of solar and battery storage and backup generation. It is by far one of the most efficient local energy solutions that allows customers and the wider community in these remote areas to access a steady supply of electricity.

BayWa r.e. expansion plans for its offering of SPS include tapping into other regions in Western Australia, namely, the Kimberley and Pilbara as well as regions in the other states of the country such as the Northern Territory and Queensland. This vision of providing SPS nation-wide is part of BayWa r.e. 's commitment to aid Australia's energy transition processes.

This is in line with the country's climate goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, which would require a rapid construction of an electricity grid running almost 100 percent on renewable energy.

Some benefits of SPS includes serving as a safe and reliable source, maximised efficiency via clean energy storage, reduction in electricity costs, flexibility for communities to place systems where it is needed, and integrated system monitoring for improved maintenance.

"SPS is a clear choice for remote areas, agricultural and mining sectors. It is a reliable and cost-effective energy solution that can power up these communities in the interim as the country continues to expand and improve its electricity grid. We are also confident that through BayWa r.e.'s technical expertise and product knowledge in renewable energy, that new design elements will be implemented to these systems, to further contribute to the state and country's transition towards net-zero emissions," continued Mr. Yildiz.

BayWa r.e. has been operating in Australia since 2016, after transitioning from existing solar wholesaling business Solarmatrix. The Projects team entered the Australian market through the acquisition and subsequent development of the Hughenden Solar Farm in Northern Queensland. The Wind Projects team was established through the acquisition of a local developer, Future Energy, and its project pipeline. In total, BayWa r.e. has delivered seven utility scale wind and solar assets in Australia, including the 112 MW Karadoc and the 106 MW Yatpool solar farms near Mildura in Victoria.

BayWa r.e. AG (BayWa r.e.)

At BayWa r.e. we r.e.think energy – how it is produced, stored and can be best used to enable the global renewable energy transition that is essential to the future of our planet.

We are a leading global developer, service supplier, distributor and solutions provider and have brought over 4.5GW of energy online and manage over 10GW of assets. We are also an Independent Power Producer with an expanding energy trading business.

BayWa r.e. works with businesses worldwide to provide tailored renewable solutions. Operating 100% carbon neutral, we are also committed to our own sustainability journey.

Pertamina-assisted MSMEs pull in crowds at Tong Tong Fair

JAKARTA, Sep 19, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Several products made by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) assisted by state-owned oil and gas company PT Pertamina sold out at the recent Tong Tong Fair in The Hague, the Netherlands.
Visitors check out handicraft products from Indonesia at the Tong Tong Fair, which was held in The Hague, Netherlands, from September 1–11, 2022. (ANTARA/HO-PT Pertamina (Persero))


The fair was held from September 1-11, 2022, after a gap of two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Foods from Dapur Bunda Duri, De Harvest Jaya, and Bakul Jamu Euis, as well as fashion products of Cetak Godhong and Dela Tapis, Sasirangan, and handicrafts made by Joglo Ayu Tenan and Bahalap were among the products that proved a draw for visitors.

Indonesian Ambassador to the Netherlands, Mayerfas, welcomed the participation of Indonesian SOEs, which brought a number of MSME products to the annual Tong Tong Fair.

"It needs to continue to be carried out to encourage MSMEs to go global and increase their competitiveness," he said, according to a statement released by Pertamina.

He also lauded the effort made by the SOEs Ministry to open the Roemah BUMN pavilion to enable several SOE-assisted MSMEs from Indonesia to exhibit their products at the fair.

Pertamina showcased 175 types of superior products from various cities of Indonesia at the fair, including Yogyakarta, Balikpapan, Dumai, Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Lampung, and Tomohon, Sulawesi.

Products from the fashion, handicrafts, and food sectors were selected through a fairly long process after being curated based on product quality criteria that were in accordance with the needs of the global market.

"I am proud that the rubik balado product could pass the curation to the Netherlands, (it) can make the city of Duri Riau proud, which previously did not have regional specialties," said Diah Novi Wulandari, owner of Dapur Bunda Duri, an MSME assisted by Pertamina since 2020.

Wulandari, who currently has more than 15 employees and more than 70 MSME partners in Duri, did not expect her products to be of interest to residents of The Hague and surrounding areas. However, her products sold out in less than a week.

Besides rubik balado, Cetak Godhong's ecoprints also found a place in the hearts of visitors.

"What I never dreamed of was that my product could participate in the Tong Tong Fair in the Netherlands," said Endah Hariyani, owner of Cetak Godhong.

Cetak Godhong makes environmentally friendly handmade products by printing fabrics using natural dyes and making motifs manually using leaves.

The use of leaves from various types of plants as motifs and natural coloring lend the products an exclusive air since no product has the exact same design.

Vice president of CSR & SMEPP at Pertamina, Fajriyah Usman, said showcasing MSME products at the Tong Tong Fair 2022 was a complete success.

"The fostered partners provided quality local products that had very high artistic and cultural value. We got a lot of visitors with a fairly significant number of sales. All visitors seemed to enjoy the product offerings and were enthusiastic about the lucky dip draw that we gave," she informed.

Fajriyah said she hopes that the Tong Tong Fair would accommodate the hopes and aspirations of Pertamina-assisted MSMEs as well as encourage the entrepreneurs' spirit of independence and spur them to become strong and professional players.

In collaboration with the trade attache at the Indonesian Embassy in the Netherlands, Pertamina-assisted MSMEs' products are currently on display at the House of Indonesia, a one-stop shopping showcase that provides everything from products to information for prospective European business players.

"This promises a great opportunity for MSEs to expand their overseas marketing reach," Fajriyah added.

The involvement of MSMEs in the Tong Tong Fair was a form of the SOEs' support for achieving the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Point 8, namely decent work and economic growth, which is being realized through funding and coaching programs for SMEs.

This is part of the social and environmental responsibility push for realizing economic benefits for the community and driving the national economy.

Through MSME programs and the spirit of "Energizing Your Future," Pertamina is striving to continue to encourage all MSME partners to level up and go global.

Pertamina saves US$402.46 million amid rising global oil prices

JAKARTA, Sep 3, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – State-owned oil and gas company PT Pertamina succeeded in saving operational costs of around Rp6 trillion (US$402.46 million) until July 2022 through several efficiency programs amid rising world oil prices that increased fuel production costs.

She explained that energy companies around the world are facing difficult situations as a result of disruption of the global energy supply chain due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The global trade mobility leading to post-pandemic recovery was jolted by limited supply that led to an energy crisis.

The president director noted that the Indonesian government's policy of maintaining the people's purchasing power through fuel subsidies was the proper measure to accelerate economic recovery.

According to Widyawati, the accuracy of the policy is reflected in the fuel consumption increase for community mobility and business activities.

Pertamina President Director Nicke Widyawati stated that such a success could not be separated from strategic cost-saving measures taken by the company group since the start of this year.

She explained that energy companies around the world are facing difficult situations as a result of disruption of the global energy supply chain due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The global trade mobility leading to post-pandemic recovery was jolted by limited supply that led to an energy crisis.

The president director noted that the Indonesian government's policy of maintaining the people's purchasing power through fuel subsidies was the proper measure to accelerate economic recovery.

According to Widyawati, the accuracy of the policy is reflected in the fuel consumption increase for community mobility and business activities.

On the other hand, she also pointed out that the increase in fuel consumption had caused an increase in the burden of government subsidies.

"We understand the heavy burden of the government's fuel subsidy, and for that Pertamina carries out various cost-saving programs in order to help reduce the burden," she stated.

She remarked that the largest chunk of the company's cost of fuel production is for the purchase of crude oil, which accounts for 92 percent of the production costs.

Fortunately, investment in upgrading the Pertamina Oil Refinery, which had been conducted in the last four years, had succeeded in increasing the flexibility of crude oil availability.

It means, if so far, the Pertamina refinery has only been able to process certain crude oil that is expensive, but starting last year, it has been able to process crude oil, with a higher sulfur content, which is cheaper and can be gained from many sources," Widyawati stated.

This is Pertamina's strategic move that has succeeded in significantly reducing fuel production costs, she affirmed.

In addition, the company's energy efficiency efforts in all operational areas — from upstream to downstream — had caused significant cost savings while also contributing to a reduction in carbon emissions.

"The post-restructuring breakthrough, which is also significant to achieve Pertamina Group's efficiency, is the centralization of the procurement of goods and services, as well as the integration and optimization of all assets from upstream to downstream," she stated.

Apart from saving costs, the Pertamina Group has also succeeded in increasing its revenue through the export of high value-added products, such as HVO (palm-based D100) and Low Sulfur Fuel Oil.

By upgrading its refineries, Pertamina has currently been able to produce more low-carbon products whose demand had continued to increase, thereby capturing a very prospective opportunity in the midst of global demand for such a product.

"For Pertamina, cost savings are not just about cutting costs but also changing operating models and improving business processes, so that all company programs can be carried out and all targets are achieved, but at a lower cost," Widyawati stated.

"Pertamina will continue to make various efforts to save costs, which at the same time can reduce carbon emissions, thereby supporting the company's and national energy transition efforts," she said.

Apeiron Bioenergy closes equity investment from Mitsui Chemicals, poised to capture exponential growth in bioenergy market with Pan-Asian presence

SINGAPORE, Aug 31, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Apeiron Bioenergy has successfully closed an equity financing round from Mitsui Chemicals. The funds will support Apeiron to increase its collection capacity for waste-based feedstocks across Asian markets and position the company for exponential growth amidst growing demand for renewable feedstock for advanced biofuels such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

According to the International Energy Agency , global demand for renewable diesel is set to more than double, or by 11 billion litres, over the next five years. The demand mainly stems from government regulations in the US and the EU as established in the decarbonisation targets by COP26. However, the planned capacity is set to outpace domestic feedstock supply significantly, and production must keep up with the climate emergency – where will the additional feedstock come from?

A leading integrated player and solutions provider in the bioenergy space, Apeiron Bioenergy, collects and processes a range of renewable feedstocks including used cooking oil (UCO) and palm oil mill effluent (POME) acts as a critical exporter across an ever-expanding Asian market. Over the past 15 years, Apeiron Bioenergy has built its presence in over 10 countries and collected more than 500 million litres of UCO between 2017-2021, offsetting an estimated 1.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions.

"Zero Carbon emissions is one of our strategic targets by 2050. As one of Japan's leading chemical companies, our investment in Apeiron is our way of contributing to solving the world's future environmental issues," said Tadashi Yoshino, Representative Director, Managing Executive Officer, Mitsui Chemicals. "Apeiron Bioenergy has a proven track record of aggregating renewable feedstock and streamlining the supply chain across Asia. We are delighted to invest in the company as it aligns with our sustainability goals."

Apeiron Bioenergy's access to diversified sources and networks of feedstock and relationships with downstream customers means it is in an excellent position to access and supply downstream by-products for Mitsui Chemicals to help achieve its net zero targets.

With Mitsui Chemicals serving as a strategic investor, Apeiron Bioenergy will be well-positioned to meet the substantial rise in demand for biofuels by ramping up its capacity of collection points and processing facilities through both organic and inorganic growth. The company is actively seeking to acquire or collaborate with local collectors of sustainable feedstocks in the Asian markets.

"Tackling supply chain issues in Bioenergy across Asia requires a community-focused, collaborative approach – our seasoned management team has proven that we can resolve supply chain inefficiencies with our multicultural and multi-jurisdictional strategy," said Chris Chen, Managing Director of Apeiron Bioenergy. "We will be ramping up our collection capability, collaborating closely with our downstream partners to resolve the wider sustainability problem of reducing carbon emissions across the land, sea and air transportation spaces."
