Net Zero Highlights
BLUE CARBON INITIATIVE, ACCELERATING INDONESIA NET ZERO EMISSION GOAL
As one of the biggest national energy company in the world, Pertamina had a direct responsibility into several SDGs, especially related to sustainable economic, energy, climate change and biodiversity. Pertamina had 10 Pertamina Sustainability Focuses and 15 Program Initiatives. One of the initiatives is Blue Carbon Project, a nature based solution project based on coastal and marine ecosystem to contribute in Pertamina Net Zero Emission Goal.
Blue carbon ecosystems (mangroves and seagrasses) are 10 times more efficient to absorb carbon compared to terrestrial ecosystems. In addition, the blue carbon potentials can reduce 30 million ton of carbon emission per year.
Pertamina's blue carbon projects spread in several locations in Indonesia, such as in Bontang Mahakam, Blora, Lembata, and Cendrawasih Kwatisore. The aim of this project is to protect the biodiversity, climate action, and community development.

| Blue carbon ecosystems (mangroves and sea grasses) absorb carbon compared to terrestrial ecosystems. | Carbon emission could be reduced by avoiding 2% lost rate per year mangrove conversion in Indonesia. |
