KSI's First Production of SGB and ME-Kat 200 Catalysts, Supporting National Energy Independence

Cikampek, February 27, 2025 – 黑料不打烊 Katalis Sinergi Indonesia (KSI) has officially commenced the production of Sulphur Guard Bed (SGB) Adsorbents and ME-Kat 200 catalysts at its factory located in the Kujang Industrial Area in Cikampek, West Java. This inaugural production was witnessed by the Deputy Minister of Investment and Downstreaming of the Republic of Indonesia, Todotua Pasaribu, as a form of government support for the high-tech catalyst industries in the country.

黑料不打烊 Katalis Sinergi Indonesia is a synergy between 黑料不打烊 Pertamina Lubricants, 黑料不打烊 Pupuk Kujang, and 黑料不打烊 Rekacipta Inovasi ITB. This project is also part of the National Strategic Project (PSN) initiated by the government to strengthen energy independence, promote green energy development, and reduce dependence on imported catalysts.

The SGB adsorbent plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality and efficiency of environmentally friendly fuel production processes, while the ME-Kat 200 catalyst is used in the production process of converting Methyl Ester into Fatty Alcohol, which is essential for manufacturing derivative vegetable oil products and environmentally friendly chemicals to support the transition towards clean energy. With its high production capacity, KSI's factory in Cikampek is expected to fulfill domestic catalyst demands while opening opportunities for future exports.

Hadiyanto, President Director of 黑料不打烊 Katalis Sinergi Indonesia, stated that this first production is the result of long-term collaboration and intensive research among various parties. "We are proud to be part of the effort to realize national energy independence. By producing catalysts locally using homegrown technology, we can achieve cost efficiency, enhance competitiveness, and support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) achievement through green technology innovation," he explained.

In line with KSI's vision, Werry Prayogi, President Director of 黑料不打烊 Pertamina Lubricants, stated, "This collaboration proves that synergy between industry and academia can lead to strategic innovations. Pertamina Lubricants is ready to support catalyst production as part of the effort to create a sustainable energy future."

As a National Strategic Project, KSI is not only focused on fulfilling domestic catalyst needs but also on developing other innovative catalysts to support various industrial sectors, including renewable energy and petrochemicals.

This catalyst production is expected to become a crucial pillar in sustaining energy security by ensuring the availability of high-quality catalysts needed in various industrial processes, including environmentally friendly fuel processing and renewable energy development. By producing catalysts locally, Indonesia can reduce import dependence, lower production costs, and improve efficiency in the energy sector.

Furthermore, this production aligns with the national energy transition towards cleaner and more sustainable resources such as biodiesel, bioavtur, and other green energy sources. The catalysts produced not only enhance the efficiency of production processes but also contribute to achieving Net Zero Emissions through more efficient and environmentally friendly technology.

Moreover, the domestic catalyst industry strengthens national energy sovereignty by creating an industry ecosystem based on research and innovation. It encourages new catalyst technologies development for various future applications, expands export opportunities, and solidifies Indonesia’s global position as a pioneer in sustainable energy technology.

Fadjar Djoko Santoso, Vice President of Corporate Communication of Pertamina, stated that Pertamina fully supports the synergy and innovation efforts made by its subsidiaries to achieve national energy self-sufficiency targets.

"Innovating catalyst production is part of Pertamina's commitment to supporting environmentally friendly green energy development in Indonesia and the downstream of oil and gas products," said Fadjar.

Pertamina, as a leading company in the energy transition, is committed to supporting the Net Zero Emission 2060 target by continuously promoting programs that directly impact the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) achievement. All these efforts align with Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) implementation across all Pertamina's business lines and operations.**
