en.Wedoany.com Reported - RINA, an Italian engineering, certification, and consulting company, has secured a contract to provide safety assessment services for the H2WATT green hydrogen hub project in Indonesia. Led by PLN Puslitbang, the research and development arm of Indonesia's state-owned electricity company PLN, the project aims to support the country's energy transition by developing an integrated green hydrogen ecosystem, making it a key component of Indonesia's low-carbon energy framework.
Under the contract, RINA will assess fire and explosion risks in the planned facilities to ensure the safe design and operation of hydrogen infrastructure. The scope of assessment includes identifying potential hydrogen leakage scenarios, evaluating accident likelihood, and simulating the consequences of potential events such as fires and explosions. RINA will employ risk assessment methodologies and simulation tools to develop a detailed risk profile for the facilities and propose mitigation measures, including requirements for ventilation and gas detection systems.
The company is also discussing the possibility of providing ISCC PLUS certification for the project's hydrogen refueling stations. This voluntary certification verifies the sustainability and low-carbon credentials of hydrogen and its derivatives throughout the production chain.
The H2WATT project is part of PLN Puslitbang's efforts to drive innovation in Indonesia's power sector, focusing on emerging clean energy technologies such as hydrogen, renewable energy, and biomass.
Enrico Beccaceci, Director of Engineering Business Management for RINA Asia, stated that projects like H2WATT reflect the company's commitment to advancing sustainable energy systems through technical expertise and innovation. He believes hydrogen will play a significant role in the global energy transition, and ensuring the safe design and operation of these facilities is crucial. He added that RINA's strengths in risk assessment, complemented by advanced digital tools, enable it to provide practical and reliable solutions for emerging energy projects.
Mochamad Soleh, General Manager of PLN Puslitbang, stated that the company is committed to advancing innovative and sustainable energy solutions to support Indonesia's transition to a low-carbon future. He believes the H2WATT green hydrogen hub project is an important step in developing hydrogen as a strategic energy carrier. Collaborating with experienced international partners like RINA ensures that safety, reliability, and global standards are integrated from the project's early stages, allowing them to accelerate deployment with confidence.
The project highlights the growing investment in hydrogen development in Southeast Asia, as governments and industries work to diversify energy systems and reduce emissions.
