“BUKIT ASAM INNOVATION AWARD INDONESIAN GREENOVATOR”
PT BUKIT ASAM Tbk
The issue of climate change is one of the topics at the 2022 G20 Summit. With the theme Recover Together, Recover Stronger, Indonesia's position as the Presidency of the G20 in 2022 is important to jointly encourage climate change mitigation. Indonesia is currently pursuing various policies to achieve the target of reducing emissions and Net Zero Emissions (carbon neutrality) which is targeted for 2060 or earlier. In the energy sector, this policy includes the production of EBT electricity, the use of biofuels, increasing the use of gas and the use of clean coal technology.
In order to provide support for the Government Program to realize Net Zero Emission, PT Bukit Asam is holding the 2022 Bukit Asam Innovation Award (BAIA) Event with the theme Decarbonization Competition ("2022 BAIA DC Event"). This event emerged as a form of PT Bukit Asam Tbk's seriousness in supporting innovation created by the nation's children to participate in realizing net zero emissions by 2060, including through Carbon Capture Utilization & Storage (CCUS) technology, as well as Decarbonization in the coal mining industry. It is hoped that this event can motivate Indonesian researchers and innovators to continue to innovate in developing CCUS and Decarbonization technology. The existence of domestically developed CCUS and decarbonization technology is expected to reduce the costs of dealing with carbon emissions in the country.
The GELATAH team from Universitas Airlangga , successfully passed the presentation stage in the offline Carbon Reduction category in South Jakarta on 2-4 November 2022. We hope this can bring pride and victory to the Faculty of Economics and Business as well as Universitas Airlangga . The names of the delegates who will represent include Abdul Rohman from S1 Accounting, Vita Amalia Hidayati from S1 Accounting, and Kariza Makanty from S1 Chemistry.
