00:00The Ministry of Industry is preparing a strategic policy to support the growth of the gas sector in the national industry,
00:07which is not only for the supply of gas to the industry, but also for the development of new energy such as hydrogen,
00:13which is considered to have high demand.
00:20PLT Director General of Chemistry, Pharmacy and Textile Industry, Reni Yenita,
00:26mentioned that the gas industry sector is still a very vital support sector for the development of the manufacturing industry.
00:34He noted that the national gas industry capacity is currently 2.5 million tons
00:39and is able to meet the domestic gas industry needs of 1.4 million tons per year.
00:46There is also a national gas industry capacity of 658,000 tons per year,
00:531.2 million tons of nitrogen per year, 653,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year,
01:004,000 tons of hydrogen per year, 48,000 tons of noble gas and other gases per year.
01:08In general, the capacity of the gas industry has been able to meet domestic needs.
01:13Often with the efforts of mineral-based industrial hydrolysis, both metal and non-metal,
01:18the opening of new industrial areas, the availability of industrial gas such as oxygen to meet industrial needs
01:24such as the smelter of the steel industry and stainless steel,
01:27the mineral industry, both metal and non-metal, is expected to increase rapidly.
01:34He also encouraged the preparation of adequate policies to support the growth of the gas industry sector.
01:40Not only the supply of industrial gas, but also for the development of new energy such as hydrogen,
01:45which is considered to have high demand.
01:48Kemen Perin is also promoting a number of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives in the development of hydrogen in the water.
01:56So in the future, based on the roadmap, we, the producers, in this case,
02:03also try to figure out what tax incentives are appropriate to accelerate it.
02:09Because if there is no incentive, sometimes entrepreneurs also have a tendency not to accelerate.
02:16But if there is an incentive, there is an acceleration.
02:20Besides that, maybe it's not limited to incentives, maybe there is also a fiscal.
02:28Rani added that in supporting net zero emissions in 2050,
02:32hydrogen development is an alternative to fossil fuels that is environmentally friendly
02:36and is an ideal energy storage media.
02:39For that, the use of hydrogen as a large-scale country needs to be supported by production infrastructure,
02:45storage and transportation to end users that are reliable, environmentally friendly and economical.
02:51He hopes that the industry is ready to take this opportunity by preparing the most efficient infrastructure and technology supply
02:58and in accordance with the environmentally friendly standards to build a hydrogen ecosystem in Indonesia.
