THE MARKET FOR BIOFUEL IN INDONESIA AND ITS EXPORT POTENTIAL

September 2007

The rising oil price has seriously affected the country's state budget. This is the reason why the Indonesian Government vowed recently to diversify its energy use away from the dominant fossil-based fuels to plant-based fuels such as bio-diesel and bio-ethanol.

Indonesia has the potential to be a major biofuel producer in the world. All the 60 plants that can be used to produce biofuels can be grown across the archipelago, and some, such as palm oil, are already widely cultivated. according to the Minister of Energy and mineral Resourches, Indonesia could reduce its oil consumtion, currently about 55 percent of its total energy sourches, to between 15 and 20 percent over the next several yaers if it utilizes its biofuel potential. he said Indonesia had the potential to produce 720,000 kiloliters of biofuel per year between 2005 and 2010. 1.5 million kl per year over the five years after and 4.7 million kl per year over the following ten years up to 2025.
