Menteri Perindustrian Airlangga Hartarto mengungkapkan Indonesia saat ini mulai melakukan uji coba untuk menghasilkan bahan bakar minyak dari limbah kelapa sawit. Jika uji coba ini berhasil, ia menyebut, Indonesia berpotensi menghasilkan 3 juta kiloliter biofuel per tahun.
The Minister of Industry, Airlangga Hartarto, said that Indonesia is currently conducting trials to produce fuel oil from palm oil waste. If the test is successful, he said, Indonesia has the potential to produce 3 million kiloliters of biofuel per year.
Kemenperin melihat ke depan ketersediaan BBM di Indonesia bisa dihasilkan dari kelapa sawit," kata Menperin, dalam konferensi pers usai acara serah terima hibah kendaraan listrik dari Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) di kantor pusat Kementerian Perindustrian, Jakarta, Senin (26/2).
Kemenperin looking forward to the availability of fuel in Indonesia can be produced from oil palm, "said Minister of Industry, in a press conference after the grant ceremony of electric vehicles from Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) at the headquarters of the Ministry of Industry, Jakarta, Monday (26/2).
Ia menuturkan, riset mengenai bahan bakar minyak dari kelapa sawit sebelumnya sudah dilakukan oleh Tsukuba University, yang bekerja sama dengan lembaga riset di Jerman. Para peneliti berhasil mengekstraksi air dari limbah kelapa sawit menjadi bahan bakar.
He said, research on oil fuel from palm oil previously been done by Tsukuba University, in collaboration with research institutes in Germany. The researchers managed to extract water from oil palm waste into fuel.
Profesor yang melakukan riset dari Tsukuba University sudah bertemu dengan Kemenperin. Kita juga sudah buat pabrik percobaan di Batam," tutur Airlangga.
Professor doing research from Tsukuba University has met with the Ministry of Industry. We also have made a trial factory in Batam, "said Airlangga.
Teknologi yang digunakan untuk mengekstraksi limbah sawit jadi minyak tersebut, sambung dia, memanfaatkan alga. Minyak sendiri pada dasarnya adalah alga yang tersimpan selama ratusan tahun di perut bumi.
The technology used to extract waste oil into the oil, he continued, utilizing algae. The oil itself is essentially an alga that is stored for hundreds of years in the bowels of the earth.
Jika pengembangan biofuel ini berhasil, maka Indonesia akan memiliki cadangan bahan bakar minyak baru dalam jumlah besar.
If the development of biofuels is successful, then Indonesia will have large reserves of new fuel oil.
