In the UK, Oil & Gas Journal reported that Indonesia’s state-owned PT Pertamina has entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with PT Gapura Mas Lestari (PT GML) for supply of biogenic feedstock to support the second phase of a grassroots renewable fuels production unit at subsidiary PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional’s (PT KPI) 348,000-b/d Cilacap integrated refining and petrochemical complex in Central Java.

Under the MoU, PT GML—will supply PT KPI used cooking oil (UCO) that will serve as feedstock for production of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and sustainable aviation fuel at Phase 2 of the operator’s Cilacap Green Refinery Cilacap (CGR) project.

CGR Phase 2 aims to double CGR Phase 1’s current output by expanding processing of UCO at the site to 6,000 b/d to achieve an overall combined SAF-HVO production of about 300,000 kl/year, according to the report.
