This move is part of Pertamina’s broader strategy to promote renewable energy and help Indonesia reach its net-zero emissions target by 2060. The bioethanol initiative will also support regional development, creating jobs and improving agricultural productivity by incorporating crops like corn and cassava in East Nusa Tenggara.
Pertamina’s collaboration aligns with Presidential Regulation 40/2023, which encourages the development of biofuels to meet the growing demand for cleaner energy. The company is also focused on the long-term benefits of bioethanol, both economically and environmentally, as it aims to lead the energy transition in Indonesia.
