Thanks to Biodiesel, INDONESIA can no longer import diesel

PT Pertamina (Persero) has supported the government in distributing biodiesel since 2006
and it turns out that this has experienced a significant development. "In 2006 it was still a small 0.11 million KL, the growth trend will increase significantly until 2020. Estimates are that in 2021 it will reach 81 million KL," said Director of Business Development of PT Pertamina Putra Niaga, Mars Ega Legowo Putra in the Energy Corner "Biodiesel for Energy Independence". During the pandemic, he continued, precisely in mid-2020 until the end of the year, daily biodiesel sales continued to increase. Currently there are 114 terminal locations for bio-diesel. Furthermore, blending biodiesel, namely to mix fossil oil-based diesel and vegetable fuels in the form of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME), Pertamina noted that until May 2021 the absorption reached 2.9 million KL. Pertamina's import trend is decreasing. Even in 2020, zero imports, aka no imports of diesel. "2019 is really minimal. 2020 is zero. In terms of energy independence, especially solar and Indonesia's macroeconomic conditions are good," he said. For information, Pertamina continues to strive to increase the supply of palm oil-based diesel (Crude Palm Oil / CPO) or known as green diesel (D100) from domestic refineries, so as to ensure the sustainability of the biodiesel program and consistently reduce imports of fuel oil (BBM)
