Type: Supply Agreement · Technology: Hydrogen · Country: Indonesia · Announced: 2026-06-17
Italian engineering, certification and consulting firm RINA secured a contract to provide safety assessment services for Indonesia's Green Hydrogen Hub Project H2WATT, a key initiative developed by PLN Puslitbang, the research and development arm of state-owned utility PT PLN. Under the agreement, RINA will assess fire and explosion risks across the planned hydrogen facility, including identifying potential hydrogen release scenarios, evaluating incident likelihood, and modeling consequences of fires and explosions. The scope involves developing a detailed risk profile for the facility and recommending mitigation measures such as ventilation and gas detection systems. RINA is also discussing the potential provision of ISCC PLUS certification for the project's hydrogen refueling station, which verifies the sustainability and low-carbon credentials of hydrogen production. The H2WATT project is part of PLN Puslitbang's broader efforts to advance clean energy technologies including hydrogen, renewable energy, and biomass as part of Indonesia's energy transition strategy.
