PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Indonesia government has set a target of achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2060, and is under pressure to introduce renewable energy on a large scale. On the other hand, more than half of the current energy mix is coal-fired power generation, and low-carbon and decarbonization of coal-fired power generation is required. In addition, hunger and obesity due to malnutrition (double burden of malnutrition) are also problems in Indonesia. Against the backdrop of the need for new industries that contribute to decarbonization and the elimination of malnutrition, the Science and Technology Cooperation (SATREPS) project to address global issues was requested. In Indonesia, this project will introduce an algae bioreactor, establish green fermentation technology and develop a green tempeh business, establish basic technology for hydrogen production using chemical looping technology, and develop a co-firing model for biomass and hydrogen-based fuel for coal-fired power plants. By doing so, we aim to build a CCU infrastructure based on green fermentation technology and green hydrogen technology, propose an economically rational carbon cycle policy, and thereby realize a sustainable society from the perspective of energy and food resources in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
