In Indonesia, PT HDF Energy Indonesia – a subsidiary of HDF Energy – has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Transportation (MoT), state-owned electric utility PT PLN (Persero) and ferry operator PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero).
The agreement outlines a joint study to decarbonize Indonesia’s maritime sector using locally produced green hydrogen. The study will be conducted in collaboration with, and co-funded by, the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The study will focus on Eastern Indonesia, a region with plenty of sun and home to many of ASDP’s strategic ferry routes. HDF Energy is currently developing 23 Renewstable hydrogen power plants in the region. These facilities combine a solar park with substantial on-site energy storage in the form of green hydrogen to provide non-intermittent, stable and 100% clean electricity to the grid, day and night, the company said.
Renewstable plants also pave the way for the supply of green hydrogen to decarbonize maritime transport, the French firm added. The hydrogen produced will be used to power the high-power fuel cells developed and manufactured by HDF Energy in France, a modular solution tailored to the conversion of maritime fleets.
