REUTERS/Willy KurniawanJAKARTA, April 7 - Indonesia's state energy firm PT Pertamina said on Thursday it had signed a joint study agreement with Japan's Mitsui & Co LtdThe two companies would also explore the possibility of a long-term partnership in decarbonsation and transitioning into clean technology, Pertamina said in a statement.

"In the era of energy transition, Pertamina and other industries must make every effort to reduce and mitigate carbon emissions into the atmosphere in order to keep climate change under control," Pertamina director Iman Rachman said.Yasuchika Maruyama of Mitsui's Sustainable Energy Development Division in the statement said he hoped the two companies could develop a cost-effective CCUS project in Indonesia based on their experience in previous projects.

The governments of Japan and Indonesia in January agreed to cooperate on decarbonisation technology such as hydrogen, ammonia and carbon capture and storage , to transition to clean energy.Reporting by Bernadette Christina Munthe, Fransiska Nangoy; Editing by Martin PettySubscribe to our sustainability newsletter to make sense of the latest ESG trends affecting companies and governments.
