Pertamina Twins, Maintain Energy and Support Transition

The energy business is often faced with environmental issue. The need for fossil-based energy is still a challenge. Various efforts and development are continuing to combine energy businesses with the issue of decarbonization.

It's also what PT Pertamina does. During the semester I 2026, various attempts have been made for this red plate oil company.

Over the first six months of 2026, the decarbonization program across the Pertamina Group's entire line has been pushing carbon emissions to 118 percent above this year's target.

The overall low-carbon business performance also touches 101 percent of the target RCAP 2026.

"As a world-class energy company, Pertamina is committed to running ESG according to the standard of the world. Decarbonization Pertamina is also a commitment that the Government ran the target of the NZE in 2060," the Vice President of the Corporation Communications Pertamina Muhammad Baron in a written statement, Tuesday (22 / 9).

One of the low-carbon pertamina business forms is developing the Pertamina Sustainable Aviation Fuel or the environmental avtur. The unique PertaminaSAF product uses obscenity oil or used copying oil (UCO) as a component of the raw materials.

Pertamina supported the B50 government program, a biodiesel fuel management program that was officially implemented in July 2026.

In addition to B50, Pertamina also developed biogasoline through a five-percent biotetanol allocation on RON 95 gasoline. In January through June 2026, the realization of biogasoline sales was recorded above 23 thousand KL.

"This achievement is supported by several major programs such as bioethanol, biofuel, and energy efficiency that surpasses the designated targets," the Baron said.

In order to expand the perservean green portfolio, Pertamina also signed a memo with the Indonesian Battery Industry PT (IBC) at the end of August.

The deal signed at the Amperex Technology Technology Institute, Cartogram, that marks the synergy of the building of the battery industrial ecosystem nationwide integrated.

"The battery ecosystem and electric vehicles are one of the pillars of Dual Growth Strategy Pertamina. We see a great deal of opportunities for commercial, starting with the development of the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), battery recycling, to the optimization of research facilities," said SVP Technology Innovation & Implement Pertamina Hana Timothy.

Hana said the poll was directed to map the chances of technology and commercial business potential.

The product of the energy storage system or BESS, both portable and stationary, is believed to be the key to the Pertamina energy chain in the future.

Pertamina also undergone the development of future battery technology, used battery management through recycle and reuse, as well as the potential utilization of migas material to support battery supply chains.

For Pertamina, peddling the development of the battery ecosystem became part of an attempt to open up new growth opportunities that complete the ecsisting energy business, as well as expanding low-carbon business portfolio in supporting the transition and sustainability of Indonesian energy.

Ensuring national energy resistance in line with energy transition, Pertamina runs Dual Growth Strategy. For Pertamina, this strategy aims to maintain national energy resistance today, supporting the transition of Indonesian energy to target net zero emission and creating a new source of growth in the middle of global trend towards clean energy.

The double-growth move done by Pertamina is to divide the focus of business development into two main groups, Maximizing Legacy Business and Building Low Carbon Business.

Maximizing Legacy Business Strategy is an attempt on Pertamina's efforts to continue developing the company's exhibition business, especially the fossil-based ones. Increasing the core business is mainly intended to maintain national energy resistance.

This strategy is run through several working programs between increasing oil and gas production, modernizing and building refinery, including a new refinery project, running BBM and LPG distribution through 3T territory and reducing national energy resistance and reducing imports.

In the second strategy, Pertamina sets up a strategy for the Low Carbon Business Building to develop low-carbon businesses as a new source of growth.

One of its focus is biofuel development. Pertamina targets increasing production capacity and reinforcing biofuel infrastructure.

The program covers the optimization of biodiesel implementation and expansion and expansion of biosolar utilization. Pertamina also includes an increase in biofuel based on biodiesel, bioethanol, and sustainable aviation fuel.

Pertamina also includes the expansion of the Earth's heat capacity or geothermal as part of a low-carbon business.

The development was done through increased capacity and expanding new business opportunities in the geothermal sector. The Earth's heat investment was placed as part of a renewable and renewable energy business development effort.

In addition, Pertamina prepares other low-carbon business development, including decarbonization, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS / CCS), gas-to-power, solar energy, naturebased solutions (NBS), carbon credit, electric vehicle, to hydrogen.

Pertamina has a subsidiary who focuses on new and renewable energy fields: Pertamina New and Renewable Energy.

The NRE Pertamina has been working on developing clean energy in Indonesia by pushing changes through sustainable energy solutions.

According to the annual report of 2025 Pertamina NRE, for 202..
