PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BNI) and Pertamina have demonstrated their commitment to supporting Indonesia’s Net Zero Emissions (NZE) target by 2060 through concrete actions in the carbon and green energy sectors. BNI, through its subsidiary BNI Sekuritas, purchased 40,000 units of carbon credits as part of its strategy to accelerate NZE. BNI aims to achieve operational net zero emissions by 2028 and net zero for its financing portfolio by 2060. As of September 2024, BNI has disbursed green financing amounting to IDR 70.9 trillion, including renewable energy, green buildings, and eco-friendly transportation. Additionally, BNI supports SMEs adopting ESG principles through programs such as BUMI and Jejak Kopi Khatulistiwa, providing financing to farmers and small business operators.
Meanwhile, Pertamina New & Renewable Energy (NRE), together with PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE), signed an Amendment to the Carbon Credit Trading Agreement. This collaboration manages carbon credits from the Lahendong Unit 5 & 6 geothermal project, with total sales reaching 862,000 tons of CO2e. As the leading carbon aggregator in Indonesia, Pertamina NRE dominates 96% of the carbon credit market an IDXCarbon and plans to expand its portfolio into biogas and nature-based solutions.
Both companies not only contribute through carbon trading but also promote education and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate Indonesia’s green energy transition. These efforts strengthen their roles as pioneers in supporting sustainability and achieving NZE 2060.
