PERTAMINA AND JOGMEC TO COLLABORATE ON METHANE EMISSION MEASUREMENT AND QUANTIFICATION

PT PERTAMINA and Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) announced a collaboration agreement aimed at advancing collaboration on methane emission measurement and quantification at natural gas production facilities in Indonesia.

Based on this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), both parties will work closely to formulate a project for methane emission measurement and to calculate carbon intensity (CI) from upstream operations to establish the methane emission management system. The initial implementation will be at PERTAMINA's upstream areas, which are Donggi Matindok and Joint Operating Body Tomori (JOB Tomori) in Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia.

This strategic collaboration, formalized during the ASEAN – Japan Economic Co-Creation Forum following discussion at ASEAN Methane Leadership Program which is joined by both parties, signifies the commitment of both entities to address the pressing issue of methane emissions in the energy sector. The MOU was signed by A. Salyadi Saputra, Director of Strategic, Portfolio, and New Venture at PERTAMINA, and Asawa Satoshi, Executive Vice President of the Energy Business Unit at JOGMEC.

The signing of the MOU during the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC) Leaders meeting underscores the commitment of both parties to implement this collaboration. The AZEC Leaders meeting held on December 18, 2023, facilitated further discussions on cooperation within the AZEC platform among the Prime Ministers of AZEC partner countries. Preceding this, the ASEAN-Japan Economic Co-Creation Forum on December 16, 2023, focused on developing and accelerating tangible cooperation on co-creation projects in AZEC and future business possibilities, including decarbonization and energy transition.
