Who We Are
Creating Impact Through Clean Innovation
PT SANTI Energi Hijau (SEH) is a subsidiary of SANTI GROUP with special purpose to develop green energi in Indonesia, especially on Bioenergy, to help reduce GHG emission and prevent the global climate change. SANTI ENERGI HIJAU was established in 2023. Even though, SEH has been developing Pongamia Project since 2020.
SEH are researching about Pongamia pinnata tree (Malapari) since 2021 with BRIN (National Research & Innovation Body) under Macro-propagation Research team to developing best superior genetic tree. Not only in the upstream side, SEH also cooperated with Bioenergy and Chemurgy Engineering – ITB (Institute Teknologi Bandung), researching about the Pongamia Oil, how to produce high yield oil with good quality and doing testing to processing Crude Pongamia Oil to become several products.
SEH currently researching and developing Sorghum for Bioenergy. We are cooperated with Multinational Company and Japanese Company to utilized superior genetic sorghum as feedstock of Biomass and Bioethanol.
Why Pongamia?
Dig Deeper Into What The Benefits
SANTI Energi Hijau focuses on developing sustainable bioenergy from Pongamia pinnata and other renewable resources to drive cleaner energy and reduce emissions.
01
Pongamia pinnata is a beach-dwelling plant belonging to the Fabaceae (Leguminosae) tribe.
02
Pongamia natural trees widespread around Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the best area to planting Pongamia due to the tropical climate and wide coastal area.
03
Contains 30-40% Non Edible triglyceride-rich oil, good for use as raw material for biofuels.
04
Contains 30-40% triglyceride-rich oil, good for use as raw material for biofuels.
05
Easy in germination and seedling. Grows fast, short rotation coppice, can already bear fruit at the age of 3 years.
06
Can grow in a wide altitude range (Altitude between 0-1200 m.a.s.l.).
07
Can grow on marginal land and salt water resistance.
08
The ability to absorb GHG emissions is quite high.
09
“No need” nitrogen fertilizer (nitrogen-fixing tree).
10
Seeds/oils contain bioactive chemicals for cosmetics, medicine, etc.
Why Sorghum?
Clean Energy, Clear Commitment
Our dedication to a greener future goes beyond technology. It’s a promise to deliver reliable, responsible, and forward-thinking energy solutions for every generation.
01
High Biomass Yield
Sorghum produces large amounts of biomass per hectare, making it highly efficient for energy production compared to many other crops.
02
Climate Resilience
It thrives in hot, dry environments and requires less water than crops like corn or sugarcane. This makes sorghum suitable for regions facing water scarcity and climate variability.
03
Low Input Requirements
Sorghum grows well with minimal fertilizer and pesticide use, reducing production costs and environmental impact.
Versatile Energy Pathways
Sorghum can be used for multiple renewable energy products:
1st generation ethanol (from sugars and grain)
2nd generation lignocellulosic ethanol (from stalks and leaves)
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
Compressed biogas (CBG)
Genetic Diversity & Improvement Potential
Breeding programs continue to enhance sorghum’s biomass traits, sugar content, and adaptability, ensuring long-term sustainability.
