In India, BioEnergy Times reported energy firm Aslan Energy Capital has announced plans for a Final Investment Decision (FID) in 2026 for a large-scale hydrogen project in Indonesia.
The report noted that the Hidrogen Energi Mitra Utama (HEMU) project highlights Indonesia’s growing commitment to renewable energy and aligns with global emissions reduction goals.
The HEMU project will feature 600 MW of electrolysis capacity, powered by a 1,200-MWh solar plant. The company plans to launch a front-end engineering and design tender for the facility near Batam, Indonesia, with an FID targeted for 2026, according to the report.
“Many hydrogen projects are not commercially viable, with storage and transportation costs forming a significant barrier to adoption. However, our HEMU project is located just 40 km from Singapore, easing transportation cost concerns,” said Aslan Energy CEO Muthu Chezhian.
