Energasindo Heksa Karya (“EHK”), an Indonesian gas distribution company in which PT. Rukun Raharja and Tokyo Gas has a stake, and PT Moriuchi Indonesia (“MI”), in which Moriuchi Fabrics has a stake, have recently signed a memorandum of understanding regarding a biogas feasibility study.

The parties will conduct feasibility study about biogas production by utilizing methane from the organic waste such as manure excreted from livestock on the farm, POME (wastewater from the palm oil mill), wastewater from the factory, municipal solid waste of landfill and so on. The study also includes the delivery of the biogas with truck from the potential biogas source to MI Bandung plant to be used as fuel for boilers instead of compressed natural gas (CNG).

As the largest private gas distribution company, EHK aims to build a value chain from biomethane production to supply to customers by leveraging its experience in selling natural gas through gas pipelines and compressed natural gas (CNG) in Indonesia. The CEO of PT Energasindo Heksa Karya, Mr. Agustinus Hendrayana, stated, “The feasibility study we conducted last year in the same region has shown significant potential for biogas development. We expect to start this CBM project within the next six months and the infrastructure construction will begin in the first quarter of 2025. This is an important step for EHK and our partners in our contribution to clean and sustainable energy.”

Tripatra, one of the leading Indonesian engineering-based solutions providers in the energy and downstream sector, is leveraging its extensive expertise in engineering, construction, and project management to establish facilities within the green industry. This initiative reflects to Tripatra’s commitment to sustainability and is part of a broader strategy to facilitate Indonesia’s transition toward greener industrial sectors. Raymond Naldi Rasfuldi, President Director & CEO of TRIPATRA, warmly welcomed the collaboration in the development of CBM biogas production. “This collaboration aligns with TRIPATRA’s vision and with our proficient engineering skills, skilled engineers, and cutting-edge technology, we are confident in our commitment to optimizing efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness in the development of this project.”
