<\/p>\nJAKARTA \u2013 The National Energy Council (DEN) said that gasoline with the mixture of palm oil or bio-gasoline is potential alternative to replace the fossil-based Pertalite and Pertamax, which are widely used as energy sources in Indonesia. Locally known as Bensa, the palm oil-based bio-gasoline is ecofriendly and cheaper than other fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Ron of 120, Bensa has a very good quality. As the world\u2019s largest producer of palm oil, we have enough raw material at home. Its price is cheaper than Pertamax Turbo,\u201d DEN Secretary General Djoko Siswanto told detikcom<\/em> on Friday (12\/1\/2024).<\/p>\n Djoko said that the price of Bensa is around Rp15,000 per liter, while Pertamax Turbo is now Rp15,350 per liter. With its efficiency, Bensa can replace the position of Pertamax Turbo in stages.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll use Bensa to replace Pertamax Turbo, Pertamax, and Pertalite. For such replacement, we\u2019ll first stop using Pertamax Turbo, then Pertamax, and later Pertalite in stages,\u201d said Djoko.<\/p>\n According to him, the policy to use Bensa is part of the government\u2019s policy to accelerate the implementation of green energy program in Indonesia. Pertamax Turbo will be replaced with Bensa as the majority of its consumers are those of middle and upper class.<\/p>\n \u201cWe target the green energy first for the rich people due to their high purchasing power. That way we can accelerate the realization of Net Zero Emission target in Indonesia in 2060,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
