In Indonesia, Indonesia Business Post reported that Indonesia state energy company PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE) is aiming to begin production from its small-scale green hydrogen pilot project in Ulubelu, Lampung, by the end of 2026.
PGE President Director Ahmad Yani said the green hydrogen facility is designed as a non-commercial project with a production capacity of 80–100 kilograms per day. The investment value is estimated at around $3 million, according to the report.
“It is targeted to operate in the fourth quarter of 2026 with a three-year trial period,” Ahmad said during the inauguration of a green terminal project.
He cited that the trial phase will serve as proof of concept to assess operational feasibility. The project utilizes Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyzer technology and is expected to become the world’s first hydrogen production facility powered by geothermal energy, the report added.
The green hydrogen development is designed to integrate with Pertamina Group’s broader ecosystem, including potential use in the mobility sector through Green Hydrogen Refueling Stations, industrial applications, and fuel cell generators.
