據上游5月16日消息，美國超級巨頭雪佛龍和印度尼西亞國有石油天然氣公司Pertamina正在聯手探索印度尼西亞潛在的低碳商業機會。

雪佛龍子公司新企業和Pertamina打算評估新的地熱技術；通過基于自然的解決方案進行碳補償；碳捕獲、利用和儲存（CCUS）；以及低碳氫的開發、生產、儲存和運輸。該合作旨在為當地和潛在的區域客戶提供服務。

擁有世界第二大地熱裝機容量的印度尼西亞自1974年以來一直在開發可再生資源。

目前，Pertamina的地熱裝機容量為1877千兆瓦，來自13個地熱工作區，其中672兆瓦來自獨立運營的工作區，包括Sibayak、Lumut Balai、Ulubelu、Kamojang和Lahendong，1.205吉瓦來自聯合運營合同。

多元化計劃

這家印尼國家公司也在進行多元化地熱開發。

烏魯貝魯地區正在開發一個正在進行的綠色氫氣試點項目，目標是每天生產100公斤，拉亨東地區正在開發一個鹽水發電項目。

Pertamina總裁董事Nicke Widyawati指出，該公司與其他參與者一起，也在開發碳捕獲和儲存以及CCUS，作為其減少其生產Gundih和Sukowati油田碳排放的戰略之一。

Pertamina還在審查CCUS技術在蘇門答臘地區的商業化應用。

作為國家能源大戰略的一部分，印度尼西亞政府目前制定了能源轉型路線圖。在該路線圖中，可再生能源的目標是到2025年達到能源需求的23%。

海事和投資事務協調部長Luhut Pandjaitan說：“毫無疑問，推動低碳能源項目的努力不能單獨完成。未來，我們希望世界級的石油和天然氣公司，如Pertamina和雪佛龍，能夠合作進一步減少碳排放，并按照印度尼西亞政府的授權推進能源轉型。”

雪佛龍新能源總裁Jeff Gustavson說：“本周簽署的諒解備忘錄表明雪佛龍和Pertamina致力于通過雪佛龍、國家能源公司和政府之間的合作和伙伴關系繼續尋找低碳機會——所有這些公司在推進國家能源轉型方面都有共同的利益。”

Chevron and Pertamina team up for energy transition drive

US supermajor Chevron and Indonesia’s state-owned oil and gas company Pertamina are joining forces to explore potential lower-carbon business opportunities in Indonesia.

Subsidiary Chevron New Ventures and Pertamina intend to evaluate novel geothermal technologies; carbon offsets through nature-based solutions; carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS); as well as lower-carbon hydrogen development, production, storage and transport. The collaboration is aimed at serving local and potentially regional customers.

Indonesia, which has the world’s second-largest geothermal installed capacity, has developed the renewable resource since 1974.

Pertamina today has a total installed geothermal capacity of 1.877 gigawatts from 13 geothermal work areas, of which 672 megawatts comes from work areas including Sibayak, Lumut Balai, Ulubelu, Kamojang and Lahendong that are operated independently and 1.205 GW from joint operation contracts.

Diversification plans

The Indonesian national company is also diversifying geothermal development.

An ongoing green hydrogen pilot project, among others, is being developed in the Ulubelu area with a production target of 100 kilograms per day, and a brines-to-power project is under development in the Lahendong area

Pertamina president director Nicke Widyawati noted the company, along with other players, is also developing carbon capture and storage and CCUS as one of its strategies to reduce carbon emissions at its producing Gundih and Sukowati fields.

Pertamina is also reviewing the commercialisation of the application of CCUS technology in the Sumatra region.

The Indonesian government currently has an energy transition roadmap as part of the Grand National Energy Strategy. In this roadmap, renewable energy is targeted to reach 23% of energy demand by 2025.

“Without a doubt, efforts to boost lower carbon energy projects cannot be done alone. In the future, we hope that world-class oil and gas companies, such as Pertamina and Chevron, can partner to further reduce carbon emissions and advance energy transition as mandated by the government of Indonesia,” said Coordinating Minister for Maritime & Investment Affairs, Luhut Pandjaitan.

Chevron New Energies president Jeff Gustavson said: “The memorandum of understanding [signed this week] demonstrates Chevron and Pertamina’s commitment to continue identifying lower-carbon opportunities through collaboration and partnership between Chevron, national energy companies and governments — all of which have a shared interest in advancing national energy transition.”
