Jakarta (ANTARA) – PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) is getting serious about supporting the development of a future clean energy ecosystem through clean ammonia and hydrogen. This was realized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Japan Bank for International Corporations (JBIC), a state-owned financial institution.Vice President Director of Pupuk Indonesia, Nugroho Christijanto, said that the company has cooperation in the development of clean ammonia with a number of Japanese companies. Because Japan is aiming to utilize clean ammonia as carbon-free fuel for its decarbonization “Pupuk Indonesia and JBIC agreed to exchange information regarding the potential for cooperation between Pupuk Indonesia and a number of Japanese companies in the supply chain sector for ammonia, hydrogen and renewable energy,” said Nugroho in Jakarta, Monday (22/5/2023). In this collaboration, continued Nugroho, JBIC will also share experiences and information about its range of financial products. This includes exploring the possibility that JBIC will provide financial support for potential projects between Pupuk Indonesia and a number of Japanese companies. Until now, there are at least six Japanese companies collaborating with Pupuk Indonesia in the development of clean ammonia. The six companies are Mitsui, Toyo Engineering, Mitsubishi Corporation, INPEX, Itochu Corporation, and IHI Corporation. In addition, Pupuk Indonesia has a similar collaboration with ACWA Power, a company from Saudi Arabia, to state-owned companies such as Pertamina and PLN. The development of clean ammonia itself is part of Pupuk Indonesia’s decarbonization roadmap. Aside from being an alternative future energy, ammonia is also a medium in distributing hydrogen as a future energy source. This is also the company’s effort to support the target of reducing carbon emissions or Net Zero Emissions (NZE) launched by the Indonesian government. “Pupuk Indonesia currently has an ammonia production capacity of seven million tonnes per year with complete ammonia storage and distribution facilities and has more than 50 years of experience. With these capabilities, we want to become a major global player,” said Nugroho. Meanwhile, JBIC’s Managing Executive Officer, Inaba Yutaka, stated that this MoU would promote cooperation in a number of sectors that use ammonia and hydrogen as energy sources. This is because Pupuk Indonesia has a partnership with a Japanese company in the field of clean ammonia for future export needs. Through this MoU, Inaba said that JBIC has a goal to accelerate the development of clean ammonia and hydrogen supply chains. According to him, the signing of this MoU will also support a number of initiatives, including the Asia Zero Emissions Community (AZEC), as well as secure the production and supply chain of ammonia and hydrogen for Japan. “As a Japanese public financial institution, JBIC will continue to create business opportunities for Japanese companies, as well as help secure a stable supply of clean energy for Japan through strengthening cooperation with important partners in the field of decarbonization,” he explained.

;figure class=”figure-image” id=”fgimage_1Kawasaki, Japan (ANTARA/BusinessWire)-Toshiba Electronic Devices and Storage Corporation(“Toshiba”) has launched the TCR1HF series of LDO regulators that deliver high voltages, a wide input voltage range, and the industry’s lowest[1]stand-by current consumption. Shipment of the first three products in the new series, “TCR1HF18B,” “TCR1HF33B,” and “TCR1HF50B,” which offer output voltages of 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5.0V, respectively, starts today.To reduce the power consumption of an electronic product in a standby mode when using a power supply circuit with an LDO regulator, it is necessary the power supply is directly connected to the LDO regulator, and power consumption is reduced by turning off the internal circuit. The new products support a wide input voltage range of 4V to 36V, which allows them to connect to the 4V to 20V power supply used for USB PD[2], and to 24V power supply. They also feature a stand-by current consumption of 1uA (typ.), the lowest in the industry[1], allowing electronic equipment to maintain stand-by operation with very low power consumption. A fast load transient response of -60mV/+50mV (typ.) ensures they deliver stable output voltage during the sudden change in current when a product transitions from stand-by to an operating state. Toshiba will continue to expand TCR1HF series line-up by adding products with different functions or output voltage values for diverse applications. Notes: [1] Stand-by current comparison with LDO regulators with the same ratings. As of May 2023, Toshiba survey.

Jakarta (ANTARA) – APEC energy officials are strengthening cooperation to accelerate progress toward clean energy transition while ensuring sustainable and inclusive economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region.”Energy is the foundation on which our economies are built, and it is what makes everything else possible,” said Ariadne BenAissa, the Lead Shepherd of the APEC Energy Working Group (EWG), during the group’s meeting on May 21-22. However, she added that at the same time, current energy systems are the primary driver of climate change, which is the greatest existential threat. The APEC region contributed to 59 percent of the global total primary energy supply in 2020, according to the group. Fossil fuels dominate APEC’s energy mix at 86 percent of the total primary energy supply and 75 percent of electricity generation, the group noted in a written statement received here on Tuesday. Though fossil fuels dominate the current energy mix, and the region continues to add coal capacity, APEC is experiencing accelerated growth in renewable energy and is currently ahead of schedule in meeting the existing goals to double renewable energy and energy intensity. “We have worked together to advance energy security, accelerate deployment of renewable energy, and reduce energy intensity, among other areas,” the United States Co-Chair of the EWG, Elizabeth Urbanas, remarked. “But we must strengthen our energy ambitions to accelerate progress while safeguarding the most vulnerable populations impacted by climate change,” she affirmed. s the host of APEC 2023, the US has put forward a proposal for the forum to adopt a new aggregate goal for power sector decarbonization, with a new target for electricity from carbon-free or carbon-neutral sources by 2035. “We also need to reduce methane emissions, which can be achieved through exchanges on leakage detection, methane abatement technologies and approaches, and a commitment to carry forward these efforts,” Urbanas stated. Recognizing the need to take care of the people in the region as economies cope with the changes required to transition to a new energy paradigm, energy officials, experts, academia, and civil society held a policy dialogue on just energy transition preceding their meeting. The group dialogue looked into practical actions for member economies’ consideration, as they decrease the reliance on fossil fuels for power and energy production and increase the use of clean energy. It includes incorporating inclusivity and focusing on supporting the region’s workforce, including women, small and medium enterprises, and others, with untapped economic potential. “We may be talking about offshore wind deployment, hydrogen infrastructure, or digital solar maps, but at the heart of all of this, what we are talking about is taking care of our people,” BenAissa affirmed.
