The Role
Katalis is undertaking a technical feasibility study looking at the potential of green hydrogen as a reductant in an existing integrated iron and steel plant in Indonesia. The hydrogen will be produced on-site using electrolysis. This study will be procured by Katalis on behalf of an Indonesian integrated iron and steel manufacturer. The production of green steel is a key element in the transition to the net zero economy.

This assignment will be to act as an independent technical expert adviser to Katalis during the project to ensure that the project is procured to the highest possible standard and that the report meets contemporary quality benchmarks. This is not an assignment to provide a second opinion, but to ensure quality and probity.

Program Background
The Governments of Indonesia and Australia have entered into the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA), creating a framework to unlock the vast potential of the bilateral economic relationship. To support this ambition, the IA-CEPA includes a new program – Katalis. Katalis’ goal is to maximise the benefits of IA-CEPA, support trade and investment, improve market access, and promote inclusive economic growth in Indonesia. The primary objective is to ensure the efficient and effective implementation of IA-CEPA to increase two-way trade and investment that is broad based and inclusive.

Through a “Collaborative Hub”, Katalis will leverage existing Australian investments in Indonesia by working in partnership with other DFAT Programs, whole of government partners such as Austrade, and other sectoral partners, to deliver new activities.

Katalis combines sound trade and development practice by supporting Indonesia to maximise the benefits of IA-CEPA, addressing regulatory challenges (through technical assistance), while resourcing innovative industry engagement in sectors of mutual interest, such as in agriculture; and by investing in standards, skills and business sector development in new areas (such as digital services and advanced manufacturing).
