Green hydrogen is widely recognized as one of the future cornerstones of green energy. According to the report from Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), the country’s green hydrogen potential is projected to reach 185,101 GWh by 2060. The report also pledges that Indonesia aims to become a green or low-carbon hydrogen exporting country as early as 2030.
A research report on Indonesia’s national hydrogen policy estimated a significant growth in demand for green hydrogen between 2030 and 2060. The sectors expected to have the highest utilization in transportation, energy, and manufacture sectors.
Taking into consideration the local context, target markets, and technological maturity, and align with the pathway to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2060, the research outlines the following three stages of hydrogen development in Indonesia:
