Conference

Room: Padang Room, Level 1

A comprehensive overview of Indonesia’s national priorities for the downstream sector, this session examines the policy drivers and regulatory updates essential for accelerating domestic value-addition, enhancing energy security, and positioning the nation as a competitive global industrial hub. 

Room: Padang Room, Level 1

A deep-dive into the upstream-to-downstream integration, gas pricing policies, and infrastructure mandates required to realise the national energy security goals within the 2045 Roadmap.

Room: Padang Room, Level 1

This session explores the large-scale projects and technological breakthroughs redefining Indonesia’s downstream sector. A leading industry champion will showcase real-world progress in building world-class refining and petrochemical solutions that drive national self-sufficiency and economic resilience.

Central to this discussion is the integration of Indonesia’s 5% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate into existing master plans and CAPEX cycles. By examining the evolution of feedstock supply chains, including Used Cooking Oil (UCO) collection, and the policy frameworks required to ensure economic viability, the presentation highlights how Indonesia can meet domestic mandates while capturing surging demand for certified SAF across the Asia-Pacific.

Asia-Pacific refineries face heightened exposure to global supply shocks due to their reliance on Middle Eastern crude and vulnerable transit routes such as the Strait of Hormuz. In this volatile environment, traditional optimisation is no longer sufficient. 

This presentation introduces the BRAVO framework, a practical approach to enable rapid execution, enhance crude flexibility, and leverage logistics optionality. It demonstrates how refineries can capture short-term margin opportunities while building long-term resilience through supply diversification and improved expediated knowledge-based decision-making. 

Room: Padang Room, Level 1

• Aligning downstream expansion with national plans to drive GDP growth and ensure Indonesian industry remains globally competitive through 2045 

• Strategies for scaling domestic processing to reduce reliance on global commodity volatility and eliminate import dependency through self-sufficient industrial hubs 

• The role of transition fuels, coal-to-gas technologies, and Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) in maintaining energy security while meeting national emission targets 

• Integrating waste-to-value and resource recovery frameworks to provide sustainable, low-carbon power and feedstock for the downstream sector

• Maintenance strategies for aging brownfield assets against the high-spec requirements of new greenfield projects 

• Moving from reactive to proactive integrity management through the integration of IoT sensors, Digital Twins, and AI-driven corrosion monitoring 

• Utilising predictive analytics to minimise unplanned shutdowns and extend turnaround cycles, ensuring continuous production and energy security 

• Overcoming technical challenges when integrating industrial AI and smart sensing into decades-old refinery infrastructure 

• Ensuring operational safety standards and workforce skills keep pace with AI-assisted configurations and increasingly complex refinery layouts 

Room: Padang Room, Level 1

An overview of the escalating challenges posed by mercury in modern upstream & downstream processing. This session examines the critical impact of Mercury contaminants on asset longevity and evaluates the latest methodologies for effective mercury removal. It will share insights into optimising product purity and safeguarding high-pressure infrastructure while processing increasingly complex regional feedstocks.

Room: Padang Room, Level 1

• Leveraging catalytic applications to process increasingly complex feedstocks, ensuring operational resilience while lowering thermal energy demand 

• Driving “on-purpose” catalytic processes that shift production toward high-value chemicals to meet domestic industrial demand 

• Utilising precision catalyst design to extend run-times and optimise performance, reducing the frequency of energy-intensive turnarounds 

• Facilitating yield flexibility through tailored catalysts to maximise domestic production and support Indonesia’s mandate for import substitution 

• Integrating next-generation technologies and co-processing strategies to support the transition toward biofuels, and circular initiatives

This session outlines operationalising Indonesia’s storage capacity and the cross-border regulatory frameworks essential for regional hub development. 

Room: Padang Room, Level 1

An industry presentation on the commercial integration of CCS within assets to drive operational resilience and the production of high-value “blue” commodities. 

Room: Padang Room, Level 1

• Strategic implications of reserving 70% storage for domestic emitters 

• Overcoming the technical and cost barriers of bolting carbon capture onto aging, brownfield refinery assets 

• Commercialising hydrogen and ammonia for high-value export markets 

• Defining ownership structures and cross-sector investment models for a CO2 transport network from hubs to storage 

• Using CCS as a tool to extend the life of legacy industrial assets in a net-zero economy  

Room: Padang Room, Level 1

This session discusses scaling domestic bioethanol production to meet the E10 and E20 national blending mandates. It addresses critical challenges in feedstock supply and processing infrastructure, highlighting the cross-sector collaborations required to integrate agricultural resources into the downstream value chain and secure Indonesia’s energy future.
