The development of BBM D-100 product is expected to have a broader positive effect. Among other things, in order to reduce crude oil that comes from fossil energy, ” he said.

As for Green Avtur, he continued testing this product to ensure its quality. “Commercially, this product will not be sold to market yet. What we are doing is real evidence of carrying out mandate of law, to optimize environmentally friendly domestic products,” Added Hatim.

Also present were West Likupang Sub-District Head, Swengly Takaingin and Serei Village Chief, Emma Marasi.

Sasongko explained that Pertashop is here to answer community need for fuel products (BBM), especially for those who are located far from Public Fuel Filling Station (SPBU). “Pertashop is Pertamina official distributor agency in areas that have not been covered by gas stations,” he explained.

This pertashop, continued Sasongko, was result of collaboration with Ministry of Home Affairs through Minister of Home Affairs Letter No. 117/3015 / SJ dated 28 April 2020 concerning Implementation of Pertashop Program in Village. “Pertamina and Ministry of Home Affairs are committed to providing Pertashop in 418 villages in first phase and a total of 2,300 villages in second stage which are spread throughout Indonesia,” he continued.

Pertashop, located in Serei Village, will be fully managed by BUMDes (Village-Owned Enterprises) with a capacity of 3,000 liters over an area of ​​200 square meters. “All this time, our community has relied on fulfillment of its fuel from nearest gas station, a distance of around 44 km,” said Head of Serai Village, Emma Marasi.

BBM products which are marketed at Pertashop are best quality BBM such as Pertamax and Dexlite. Although size is mini, but products it sells are classified as complete because Pertashop also provides Pertamina other superior products namely LPG Bright Gas and Pertamina lubricants. The prices of Pertamina products sold at Pertashop are also in accordance with applicable standards and conditions.

In near future in Pertamina MOR VII operational area, 44 Pertashop points will be rebuilt with details of 13 in South and Southeast Sulawesi Sales Area, 11 in Central and West Sulawesi Sales Area and 20 outlets in North Sulawesi and Gorontalo Sales Area. “It is hoped that public will more easily obtain a variety of quality Pertamina products at affordable prices and by paying attention to safety factors in their services,” concluded Sasongko.

There are three categories of Pertashop available based on area and distribution capacity per day, namely Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. For official information about Pertashop and its registration procedure, please contact Pertamina Call Center 135.

Pertamina President Director, Nicke Widyawati, explained that Pertamina had a duty and an important role in carrying out mandate of government to maintain national energy security, for this reason Pertamina continued to bring innovations that could have a wide impact on Indonesian nation and state.

This step is in line with direction of President Joko Widodo who stresses importance of producing Biofuel by utilizing domestic natural resources to build national energy security, independence and sovereignty.

“Pertamina expresses its gratitude for support of government and all parties so that Pertamina continues to develop green energy such as B30 and B50 and D-100. Pertamina has completed preparation of red and white refinery and catalyst, which will be followed by an economic study.” Nicke said on sidelines of a visit to RBDPO processing facility at Dumai Refinery, Riau, Wednesday (15/07/2020).

During a visit to Dumai refinery, Deputy Director of PT Pertamina International Refinery, Budi Santoso Syarif said that besides Green Diesel, Pertamina is currently also developing other oil-based biofuel, namely Green Gasoline and Green Avtur

“For Green Gasoline, Pertamina has conducted trials since 2018, 2019 and 2020 in Plaju and Cilacap Refineries. However, trial was only able to process RBDPO palm oil by 20%. While trial to process palm oil into Green Avtur will be carried out at end of 2020 also at Cilacap Refinery.” He said.

According to Budi, although Green Gasoline trial conducted by Pertamina is only able to process palm oil by 20%, this is first in world considering that processing palm oil into Green Gasoline has never been carried out on an operational scale.

“Processing palm oil into green diesel has also been carried out by several other companies in world, but processing palm oil into green gasoline has never been done in world and Pertamina is first because so far it is still limited to laboratory scale for research.” Added Budi.

Besides Dumai, Pertamina will also build a Standalone Biorefinery in Cilacap with a capacity of 6,000 barrels per day and Standalone Biorefinery in Plaju with a capacity of 20,000 barrels per day. Both standalone Biorefinery will one day be able to produce Green Diesel and Green Avtur with 100% vegetable oil as raw material.

Budi added, challenges ahead, Pertamina would not only develop green energy from CPO or palm oil, but also from other resources such as algae, wheat, sorghum and so on. Pertamina will continue to utilize all domestic natural resources, to support independence and national energy sovereignty.

At present, continued Budi, Pertamina continues to strive to optimize existing resources in Indonesia by optimizing existing domestic market, because it is quite large. Processing palm oil into fuel has a very high TKDN (Total Domestic Content) and has potential to reduce country transaction deficit, because palm oil is a domestic raw material whose transactions are carried out in rupiah currency, and thus will have a positive impact on national economic growth.

As is known, Pertamina has been using FAME for biodiesel program since 2006 and until 2017, for 11 years, FAME absorption reached 9.2 million KL. In 2018, Pertamina implemented B20 Program in which FAME absorption of 3.2 million KL was mixed in 69 locations. Through B30 Program, in 2019, FAME absorption will increase sharply by 5.5 million KL and by 2020 it is targeted to increase to 8.38 million KL.

The implementation of B20 and B30 programs in 2019 has saved country foreign exchange by Rp 43.8 trillion and in 2020, Pertamina is targeting foreign exchange savings of Rp 63.4 trillion with employment absorption of 1.2 million people.

“Over time there is a trend of shifting to use of fuels, which was originally fossil fuels slowly shifted to renewable fuels. The pattern of meeting national energy has also changed from previously relying on foreign supply into domestic supply. For that we must continue to strive to maximize in terms of empowerment and management of local resources that we have.” Concluded Budi. **
