JAKARTA, Nov 2, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - PT PLN (Persero) committed to achieve net zero emission in 2060. To date, several positive achievements has been taken as an effort to support clean energy.
President Director PLN Darmawan Prasodjo explained, PLN has launched a CFPP (PLTU) retirement roadmap of 6.7 Gigawatt (GW), which consists of 3.2 GW natural retirement based on the economic life of Coal Fired Power Plant and 3.5 GW conditional early retirement in 2040.
In addition to early retirement, PLN has decreased the capacity of CFPP at Corporate plan (RUPTL) from 27 GW to 13.9 GW.
"Us, in PLN committed to support government's program to actualized clean energy. By that, PLN takes a quick step." said Darmawan on Energy Transition Day in Nusa Dua, Bali on Tuesday (1/11).
One of PLN's efforts to decrease coal usage on its power plant is to implement biomass co-firing. This scheme has been implemented at 33 coal fired power plants since 2021, which have successfully reduced 656 kton CO2 emission (as of September 2022).
Co-firing scheme with hydrogen and ammonia are also in process of implementation. Currently there are 3 pilot project of co-firing hydrogen and ammonia with 3 different partnerships.
