According to Subianto, the government is promoting the use of biodiesel and bioethanol to reduce Indonesia’s reliance on imported fossil fuels.

Central to the government’s energy independence strategy is the large-scale adoption of plant-derived biofuels to slash reliance on imported fossil fuels, according to the report.
