Energy Use & Renewables

The utilization of renewable energy from biogas, biomass, and hydropower has contributed 78% of the Company’s energy needs, while the rest is met by the use of electricity by PLN and generators, as well as the use of gasoline and diesel fuel.

For electrical energy needs, in addition to obtaining supplies from PT PLN (Persero), the Company utilizes electrical energy from Biogas Power Plant (PLTBg) and Biomass Power Plant (PLTBm), both of which generate electricity from biogas or biomass effluents from field operational processes

In addition to electricity from biogas and biomass, the Company also uses renewable electricity from hydropower, as well as the construction of Microhydro Power Plant (PLTMH) in plantations with adequate water debit and height potential.

In line with the principle of sustainability, going forward, the Company is committed to continuing to increase the use of renewable energy with the following targets:
1. Develop a Biodiesel Plant in Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone
2. Develop a Biopellet plant from EFB in Sei Mangke
3. Develop a Bioethanol processing plant from EFB
4. Add Biogas, Biomass, BioCNG, and Cofiring units that will increase the use of renewable energy from the effluent of production process
