PGN Initiates Support for National Energy Mix Expansion Through CNG

As a key subsidiary of PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk (PGN), PT Gagas Energi Indonesia (PGN Gagas) enthusiastically welcomes the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources' initiative to explore Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as a component of Indonesia's national energy mix. This move by the government is seen by PGN Gagas not as a replacement for existing energy sources, but as a vital step towards diversifying and strengthening our nation's energy portfolio.

Santiaji Gunawan, President Director of PGN Gagas, emphasizes that expanding energy options is crucial for meeting the needs of both the public and businesses. He highlights that CNG offers a reliable, affordable, and domestically sourced energy alternative that can be developed incrementally, aligning with government policy. PGN Gagas has a proven track record, having supplied approximately 4.66 million MMBTU of natural gas via CNG and LNG in 2025 alone, serving diverse sectors from industry to transportation.

We see this not as replacing one energy with another, but as expanding the options. The public and business actors need access to diverse, reliable, affordable energy sources based on domestic resources. CNG is one of the energy options that is already available and can continue to be developed gradually in line with government policy.

The company's robust infrastructure, including 14 CNG refueling stations across seven provinces and its Gaslink service for businesses, demonstrates its readiness to support wider CNG adoption. This operational foundation, combined with integrated gas supply from PGN's network, ensures the optimal utilization of domestic energy resources. PGN Gagas is committed to growing alongside other energy forms, fostering a complementary energy ecosystem rather than engaging in competition.

From Indonesia's perspective, this initiative is more than just an energy policy; it's about enhancing national energy resilience. By embracing diverse domestic resources like natural gas through CNG, Indonesia can reduce its reliance on imported fuels, bolster economic stability, and ensure a more sustainable energy future for its citizens. PGN Gagas stands ready to collaborate with the Ministry and all stakeholders to realize this vision, underscoring the company's dedication to contributing to Indonesia's energy independence and security.

The more diverse the energy options available, the stronger our national energy resilience. CNG is present as an option that complements existing energy within the framework of the national energy mix.
