00:00The budget needs for the biodiesel program
00:02jumped along with the increase in the obligation to burn fossil fuels
00:07based on oil palm oil to the solar
00:10From 35% to 40% or B40
00:14Starting January 1, 2025
00:17The government ensures that it has enough funds
00:20The government plans to allocate B40 as much as 15.62 million kiloliters in 2025
00:29This biodiesel program is the government's effort to reduce the consumption of oil or BBM fuels
00:34as well as vehicle emissions
00:37However, B40 products cannot compete with solar
00:41There is an additional cost from solid materials
00:43which is the molecule of oil palm, fatty acid methyl esters or FEM
00:49which makes the price more expensive
00:52Because the price is more expensive, the government gives incentives to biodiesel producers
00:57by closing the gap between production costs and sales prices
01:02Incentives are given to biodiesel producers to ensure that their stocks are maintained
01:07while the incentive funds come from oil export funds
01:11which is managed by the BPDPKS oil palm plantation fund manager
01:17The size of the incentive is affected by disparities in biodiesel and solar prices
01:22At the beginning of 2024, the gap seems to be widening
01:26As an example, the price difference in January 2023 is at the level of Rp 715 per liter
01:33while in January 2024 it reached Rp 1,382 per liter
01:40In addition, the increased volume of distribution will make the incentive jump
01:46Due to the high price difference and limited funds for the future
01:50the government plans to limit the incentive
01:54Then, what is B40 biodiesel fuel?
01:58B40 is a mixture of 40% biodiesel or nabati fuel or BBN with 60% solar oil
02:08The BBN used in B40 comes from oil palm or CPO
02:14This program is part of the Indonesian government's efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels
02:21reduce carbon emissions and increase the use of renewable energy
02:26Based on the official release of the Ministry of the Interior
02:28B40 is a step forward from the previous program B30
02:32which has been successfully implemented since 2020
02:37The B40 action itself is part of the government's strategy
02:40to not rely too much on fossil fuels
02:43In addition, in order to get greener, cleaner energy
02:49because it does not contain sulfur, it can also save deficits
02:54Biodiesel can be made from various solid materials
02:57and uses various techniques
02:59including esterification and transesterification
03:04One of the fossil fuels that produce biodiesel fuel is palm oil
03:08As the most productive fossil fuel resource
03:111 hectare of palm oil can produce 3.5 tons of fossil oil
03:17Then, how to process palm oil into biodiesel?
03:22Raw palm oil or crude palm oil or CPO
03:25is processed into refined glycid and deodorized palm oil or RBDPO
03:32After that, RBDPO is mixed with methanol and sodium methylene in a mixer
03:38The result of the mixture is then left for 1-2 hours
03:41until the foundation of FEM and glycerin is separated by itself
03:46FEM then goes through a cleaning process
03:48to remove various compounds that can affect its quality
03:52To increase the quality of biodiesel
03:54the water component is dried by heating at a temperature of 130°C for 10 minutes
04:01At the last stage, biodiesel will go through a mechanical filtering stage
04:05to remove particles and dirty molecules
04:08so as to produce the final product with extraordinary quality
04:13Previously, the first trial of using B40 biodiesel on a train
04:17was held at Lempuyangan Station, Yogyakarta
04:20on Monday, July 22, 2024
04:23by using Bogowonto Railway, Yogyakarta-Pasar Senen
04:27The purpose is to test the durability of the Bogowonto train for 1,200 hours
04:33with an estimated return time of 1 time
04:36Bogowonto train from Lempuyangan to Pasar Senen is 22 hours
04:41It is estimated that it will take 50 times of PP
04:44or about 2 months to achieve the result
