Our energy will eventually be bioenergy-based, as Indonesia has abundant resources. Jakarta (ANTARA) – State-owned oil and gas firm Pertamina, following up on the Business 20 (B20) India agenda, will continue to develop Indonesia’s bioenergy fuels by utilizing existing natural resources, such as sugarcane, corn, cassava, and sorghum, to create plant-based fuels.”Our energy will eventually be bioenergy-based, as Indonesia has abundant resources. In India, I met with technology liaisons for bioethanol, and the byproducts can be processed in Indian companies. This is one of the follow-ups that (we) will align our efforts with,” President Director of PertaminaNicke Widyawatisaid, according to a press release issued here on Tuesday. Widyawati, who is also co-chair of the energy, climate change, and resource efficiency task force of B20 India, highlighted that bioenergy development offers many benefits that could help accelerate the energy transition. “For Pertamina, bioenergy is not only about reducing emissions, but also about decreasing import dependency and creating job opportunities. When we promote plantations, we increase the absorption of a significant workforce amount,” she pointed out.
