The Kamojang Geothermal Power Plant, operated by the state electricity company PT PLN, has officially begun producing green hydrogen from the plant’s power generation process. The green hydrogen in this case is produced from condensate water from the power generation process of the Kamojang Geothermal Power Plant.

With the operation of the Green Hydrogen Plant (GHP) at the Kamojang Geothermal Power Plant, PT PLN now has 22 GHPs across Indonesia, capable of producing 203 tons of green hydrogen per year. Of the total output of 203 tons, 75 tons of hydrogen will be used for the plant’s operational needs, while 128 tons will be used to support the development of the hydrogen vehicle ecosystem.

Assuming each vehicle travels a distance of 100 km/day, the total green hydrogen production capacity can be used for 438 vehicles per year and can reduce imported fuel energy by 1.59 million liters per year into domestic energy.

This is a significant step in promoting energy transition in Indonesia and also a testament to Indonesia’s pioneering role in the renewable energy sector in Southeast Asia.
