The nationwide rollout of 50 percent biodiesel (B50) has reached an infrastructure milestone of 104 operational fuel delivery points in September, exactly two months since the program was launched on July 9, according to the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry.The ministry’s director general of new and renewable energy and energy conservation, Eniya Listiani Dewi, told lawmakers on Tuesday that 76 delivery points were already distributing B50, while 28 others were transitioning from the previous B40 blend.
At the retail level, 6,050 gas stations, or 94 percent of the national network of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, the commercial and trading arm of state-owned energy giant Pertamina, have started dispensing the higher-grade biodiesel blend.
