Unilever Indonesia has entered a new discussion on renewable energy in the country after Unilever and PT Perusahaan Gas Negara, or PGN, signed a joint statement at COP31 on Friday, November 13, 2026. The companies will explore opportunities to develop a biomethane ecosystem in Indonesia, according to Kontan.

Building a renewable gas ecosystem

The proposed cooperation is intended to support the energy transition and industrial decarbonization. Biomethane made from organic waste could also help reduce methane emissions and strengthen domestic energy resilience.

PGN strategy and business development director Mirza Mahendra said supply chains and infrastructure will be essential to creating a commercially sustainable ecosystem. PGN's existing gas infrastructure and industrial customer access could help connect renewable gas projects with demand.

Execution depends on infrastructure

Unilever Chief Procurement Officer Shailendra Sadera said Indonesia has an opportunity to convert organic waste into renewable energy while supporting industrial decarbonization. He also said the market would need reliable supply, infrastructure, industrial demand and a supportive business environment.

The companies said future discussions could involve government bodies, industry associations, project developers, investors and other stakeholders. Topics include project readiness, infrastructure integration, market development, supply-chain traceability and supporting regulation.

For investors, the initiative adds a long-term sustainability and procurement angle to Unilever Indonesia's operating recovery. The joint statement signals exploration rather than a completed project, so its financial relevance will depend on eventual investment decisions, infrastructure readiness and measurable emissions outcomes.
