The demand in transportation might be tapering off in the near future, but petrochemicals are rapidly becoming the largest driver of global oil consumption. Beyond the business opportunities, how can we tackle sustainability and circularity challenges?

In the downstream sector, biofuels show promise, and the blue ammonia sector is ripe with potential.

However, biofuels as well as carbon capture and storage for blue ammonia are currently costly – do we have a chance?

These are among the strategic questions we explored with Kilang Pertamina International during our International Masterclass and Networking Program “Refinery of the Future: Petrochemicals, Biofuel and Blue Ammonia”. We are honored to engage with esteemed participants and ECADIN experts and partners.

We bring our expertise and extensive network, aiming to equip society and the workforce with the expertise needed for green transformations. Contact us for collaboration and engagement.

Critical minerals are key to the clean energy sector’s growth. As we shift towards greener energy, the demand for these minerals, especially in EVs and battery storage, is set to rise. The fastest demand growth, forecasted by International Energy Agency (2023) will be lithium: it is projected to multiply by more than 10 times by 2040.

But have you heard that in many places, lithium can be extracted from geothermal brine? In fact, it is quite a hot topic now (literally and figuratively!)

Get some insights from our latest paper, presented today in Indonesia International Geothermal Convention & Exhibition, by no other than the geothermal rock star slash ECADIN senior partner, Ir. Ali Ashat.
