Indonesia plans processing centers for bio-based aviation fuel
In Indonesia, Antara News reported that Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto announced that the government will establish processing centers to convert palm oil and used cooking oil into aviation fuel, as part of efforts to develop alternative energy sources.
Prabowo emphasized that aviation fuel can now be produced from palm oil, which is abundant in Indonesia, according to the report. He added that raw materials could also be sourced from recycled cooking oil waste.
“Now, aviation fuel can also be made from palm oil, and we have plenty of palm oil. In the future, aviation fuel can be made from used cooking oil, waste, and leftover cooking oil; we can process it into aviation fuel,” Prabowo said.
He further noted that the government will soon open processing centers and refineries dedicated to producing aviation fuel from these materials, the report added.
