Texas/USA – Exxon Mobil and Pertamina have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to evaluate the potential for large-scale deployment of low-carbon technologies in Indonesia. The MOU was signed near Glasgow, Scotland, where world leaders have gathered to discuss climate policies during COP 26.

The companies have agreed to assess the potential for technologies such as carbon capture,utilization and storage, and low-carbon hydrogen. By jointly examining subsurface data, the companies expect to identify geologic formations deep underground that could be suitable to safely store CO2, and the potential for safe, commercially viable utilization of CO2.

The MOU strengthens a decades-long strategic partnership between Exxon Mobil and Pertamina, and has the objective of advancing Indonesia’s net-zero ambitions.

“We are evaluating large-scale carbon capture and storage projects that have the potential to make the greatest impact in the highest-emitting sectors around the world, and there are opportunities in Indonesia and throughout Southeast Asia,” said Joe Blommaert, president of Exxon Mobil Low Carbon Solutions. “With well-designed policies and industry collaboration, we can move forward with reliable, safe and ready-to-deploy technologies at scale that can help governments achieve game-changing emissions reductions.”
