PGN and Indonesia Energy Ministry review CNG gas network project in Sleman, Yogyakarta

PGN and Indonesia's Energy Ministry reviewed a compressed natural gas (CNG) based gas network project in Sleman, Yogyakarta, on June 19. The visit focused on the 'beyond pipeline' scheme that uses CNG clustering to expand clean energy access in areas without traditional gas pipelines. Deputy Minister Yuliot Tanjung and PGN President Director Arief K. Risdianto inspected the project to assess its feasibility and potential for wider deployment. This approach could help reduce reliance on higher-emission fuels like kerosene or LPG in underserved regions. The review signals government interest in scaling CNG distribution as a practical step for household and small industry decarbonization. More details on project capacity, cost, and timeline would clarify its actual impact on emissions reduction.
