Want to know Prabowo's plan to overcome BBM's problems by becoming president?

Jakarta – The increase in the price of fuel oil is a problem often stressed by the public. The rising and falling world oil prices often can not be handled properly in the country.

In addition, Indonesia's fuel consumption is very high, which also increases its imports and ultimately the trade deficit. Unfortunately, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) also did not want to raise fuel prices to reduce consumption.

Regarding the issue of fuel prices, presidential candidate number 02 Prabowo Subianto has a way out. Want to know Prabowo's plan to solve the problem of BBM?

Dradjad Wibowo, a member of the Prabowo-Sandiaga National Winning Organization, explained a number of projects to address the BBM issue if Prabowo was later elected to the presidency.

"Prabowo-Sandi will encourage the construction of oil refineries, ethanol plants, gas reception infrastructure and the construction of gas transmission networks," said Dradjad quoted by CNBC IndonesiaOn Wednesday (28/11/2018).

He pointed out that the conversion of the use of BBM to gas and renewable energy, especially biodiesel, would be extended.

Biodiesel is a superior product because Indonesia is the largest producer of palm oil in the world.

"On the other hand, Indonesian palm oil exports are being attacked by excessive and unfair negative campaigns by some NGOs and palm oil competitors in Western Europe. -Sandi Indonesia wants to make Indonesia a giant bioenergy the world, "he explained.

For the record, Dradjad continued during the first five years of Prabowo-Sandi, the downstream industries of palm oil, especially oleochemicals and their derivatives, were also used as a mainstay.

In addition to palm oil, raw materials for bioenergy will be produced from the use of tens of millions of hectares of damaged forest land in palm sugar, manioc production fields and other raw materials containing ethanol.

"So, briefly, Prabowo-Sandi will change the use of BBM to gas and bioenergy (including biodiesel)," Dradjad explained.
