Hyundai plans waste-to-hydrogen and refuelling station project in Indonesia

Hyundai Motor Group will establish an overseas waste-to-hydrogen project in West Java, Indonesia, in collaboration with the nation’s state-owned energy company Pertamina and local government bodies.

The initiative will convert biogas sourced from the Sarimukti landfill, which processes about 1,500 tonnes of waste daily, into hydrogen using Hyundai Rotem’s steam methane reformer (SMR) technology.

Using the SMR process, Hyundai Rotem’s Hy-Green can reportedly produce up to 640kg of high-purity hydrogen per day from natural gas or, in this case, biogas.
