Natural fuel oil from vegetable oil from Indonesia sells well. President Director of PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional (KPI) Taufik Aditiyawarman said that at least Pertamina had exported 15,000 metric tons of biodiesel to Europe in 2022. This proved that the government’s efforts to encourage new renewable energy were on the right track.
“Some of it we export to Europe 15,000 metric tons,” said Taufik at the “11 Years of Indonesia EBTKE Conex”, at ICE BSD, Friday (14/7/2023).
Taufik said, Pertamina itself will continue to boost bio-fuel production in order to support the 2060 net zero emission target. The development of green fuels from Pertamina’s Green Refinery shows Pertamina’s Refinery’s commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Number 7, namely ‘Clean and Affordable Energy’.
“Pertamina’s Green Refinery is Pertamina’s Refinery’s commitment to producing quality and environmentally friendly fuel,” said Taufik in a press release, quoted Friday (17/6/2023)
For the Cilacap refinery, he has so far succeeded in producing 3,000 barrels per day. The production results in Cilacap, said Taufik, have been used in various international events, such as for Generators in the G20 to Formula-E.
“The Cilacap biodiesel plant is 100% green and has been used for the first generator in the G20. Because diesel generator fuel must be green,” added Taufik.
In the future, KPI also plans to increase the production of the biodiesel plant in Cilacap to reach 6,000 barrels per day or double the current production. Apart from Cilacap, Taufik continued, his party will also increase the supply of CPO-based diesel or green diesel from Dumai and Plaju. so that it can ensure the sustainability of the biodiesel program and consistently reduce imports of fuel oil.
According to Taufik, the Pertamina Refinery development roadmap currently refers to the National Energy General Plan (RUEN) in which the demand for fuel products is expected to increase until 2040. Based on RUEN, Pertamina’s refinery development roadmap is composed of a processing capacity from 1.05 million BPD to 1.4 million BPD. million BPD, fuel production from 700 KBPD to 1.2 million BPD, and Petrochemical production from 1.6 million tonnes per anum to 7.4 million tonnes per annum.
With the Pertamina refinery renewal roadmap, he said, the development had considered an environmentally oriented strategy and environmentally friendly fuel production equivalent to EURO V. In addition, increasing the Nelson Complexity Index (NCI) or refinery complexity would increase to get more producing valuable products.
