ESSA EYES MAJOR ROLE FOR INDONESIA IN LOW CARBON FUTURE WITH BLUE AMMONIA COMMITMENT

Jakarta, 19 March 2021 – PT Surya Esa Perkasa Tbk. (IDX: ESSA) (“ESSA”) is pleased to announce it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) for Blue Ammonia Production in Indonesia.

Signed on 18 March 2021, ESSA’s subsidiary PT Panca Amara Utama (“PAU”) shall work to develop low-carbon Ammonia production in Indonesia, also known as Blue Ammonia, with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (“JOGMEC”), Mitsubishi Corporation (“MC”) and Institut Teknologi Bandung (“ITB”).

Ammonia is currently used as a raw material for fertilizers, plastics and chemicals around the world. In recent years, Ammonia’s role as a fuel of the future has grown considerably due to its high hydrogen content, zero CO2 emissions during combustion, and proven delivery logistics. ESSA plans to use CCUS technology to realize Blue Ammonia production at its Banggai Ammonia Plant in Banggai, Central Sulawesi.

ESSA President Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Vinod Laroya, said:

“We are undeniably invested in developing a sustainable future and are honored to work with partners with a strong track record and a like-minded commitment to the environment. Our Banggai Ammonia Plant represents the first application of the world’s latest ammonia technology, putting Indonesia at the forefront of Ammonia production. We hope that with this collaboration, the Company paves the way for Indonesia to play a leading role in providing fuels of the future, starting with Blue Ammonia.”
