BIO DIESEL

Indonesia Agriculture Research Institute (LRPI) currently developing alternative bio-diesel energy that directed as a Fuel (BBM). Some time ago LRPI have found that bio-diesel produced from plant oil palm.
Bio-diesel is Environmental friendly and very cheap. Bio-diesel can replace the position of fossil oil price which getting more expensive and increasingly rare. Indonesia has a very large potential to produce bio-diesel and bio-ethanol. Both the fuel are produced from various plants of Indonesia. Thus, there is no reason not to develop bio-diesel energy.
Bio-diesel is a liquid material formulated specifically for diesel engines made from vegetable oil (bio-oil). Users do not require engine modifications. Composition with a mixture of 5-20% for different vehicles ranging from trucks, buses, tractors and machinery industry can use this. Bio-diesel. Bio-diesel can be produced from plants that contain fatty acid such as palm oil, the distance the fence, coconut, sirsak, black seed strawberry, and kapok.
The price of bio-diesel is cheaper than solar. Solar price of industry per liter Rp 5300, - while the price of pure bio-diesel is only Rp 3500, -. Total bio-diesel requirement at this time kiloliter reach 4,120,000 / year. While the ability of bio-diesel production in 2006 a new 110,000 kiloliter / year. In 2007 planned production capability will be increased to 200,000 kiloliter / year. Producer-producer is also another plan will operate in 2007. So that production capacity will reach about 400,000 kiloliter / year.
