Jakarta – The application of B20 biodiesel in Indonesia surprised car manufacturers, especially Japanese. Because in other countries, the composition of the vegetable mix in diesel fuel is only B7.
Thus, the director of the marine industry, transport equipment and defense equipment of the Ministry of Industry, Putu Juli Ardika, is very optimistic about the fact that Indonesia can go further and even become the global pioneer in the use of biodiesel.
"Indonesia is the first country in the world to own the B20.The country remains stuck on the B7.It's because we have a bountiful crude palm oil that has to be used," he said. he said in the Smart Discussion of the Indonesian Forum of Automotive Journalists (Forwot), Jakarta."Yes, when I went to Japan, the producers there were also surprised by the presence of B20 biodiesel, they were also pessimistic, and after the tests they were finally accepted and declared safe," he said.

B20 itself is a fuel consisting of a mixture of diesel fuel (cetane number 48) and biodiesel or palm oil 20, pursuant to Executive Order of the Oil and Gas Branch No. 27, 2016 .
Indonesia is the first country in the world to widely use the B20. Now the fuel is consumed by commercial vehicles and has just been tested on the train.
After the B20, the government is preparing the B30 road test which is expected to start in early 2019. It is expected that the B30 will be implemented in 2021 to replace the B20 as an extension of the biodiesel function. (ruk / sec)
