PTPN Group Subsidiary Will Export 36 Million Kilo Liters of B20 to Japan. 
Minister of Commerce, Enggartiasto Lukita, who accompanied the meeting between the two partners, said that Nano Fuel has a technology that requires fuel from palm oil Indonesia, in this case B20.

“I convey that we already use B20 and the government has prepared steps to take for B30 and there are some who are planning to even jump further than that. But we start with B20, 36 thousand (kiloliters) as a start,” said Enggar after the meeting in the VVIP Lounge of ICE BSD Tangerang, Banten, on Sunday (October 28).

Enggar further said that at this meeting the Japanese party also intended to ensure Indonesia's readiness regarding the sustainability of exports in the future.

Of course, they wanted to ask a few things, first regarding sustainability, because if we are to develop this on a large scale they were asking whether we would be ready to export,” Enggar added.

In addition to that, Enggar also assured the Japanese party that price fluctuations would not be an issue.

Regarding price, the price is definitely more secure compared to other gases because that has higher fluctuations. We are the largest producer of palm oil in the world. And once more, this is more friendly,” Enggar said.

4 Companies Join Forces to Export Biomass Fuel Products to Japan. This four-way cooperation was realized with a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that was signed on the final day of Trade Expo Indonesia 2018, Sunday (28/10), and witnessed by the Ministry of Trade's Director General of Export Development Arlinda, Trade Attache of the Indonesian Embassy (KBRI) of Tokyo Faried Rachman, and the Minister of Trade (Mendag) Enggartiasto Lukita. "We appreciate this four-way cooperation, and the Indonesian government supports the export of palm oil-based liquid fuels to Japan," the Trade Minister said in a statement received by the editorial staff on Monday (29/10).
Enggartiasto also encouraged Nanofuel Co. Ltd to build a production facility in Indonesia, since in the future Indonesia will implement B30 to B100 for the utilization of generators, vehicles, and jet fuel.
In an audience with the Trade Minister, the President and CEO of Nanofuel Co. Ltd Takehiko Matsumura said that besides buying palm oil-based liquid fuel from Indonesia, Nanofuel wants to contribute to the production of palm oil-based liquid fuel for Indonesia's domestic needs.
Nanofuel Co. Ltd. will develop Nano Bio Fuel technology by utilizing a variety of palm oil-based derivative products, including CPO, PAO, Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD), and Refined Bleached Deodorized (RBD) Stearin into liquid fuel. Nano Bio Fuel can make palm oil-based liquid fuel mixed with 25 percent water that has been reduced in size from 198 ppm to 6 ppm so that combustion is more efficient. The development of this technology is also supported by the Japanese government through the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
The President Director of PT Awina International Ananda Setiyo Ivannanto and the Senior Managing Director of AAI Co. Ltd. Yuukichi Hirayama in an audience with the Trade Minister expressed their seriousness in using waste from palm oil to turn into fuel and to export it to Japan. Awina International and AAI Co. Ltd. have conducted an MOU in 2017 in Japan with JAG Energy and PT Bakrie Brothers TBk to process empty oil palm bunches with semicarbonization into fuel for power plants in Japan.
The President Director of PT KPBN Edward S. Ginting supports the export of palm oil-based liquid fuel products to Nanofuel. For the provision of palm oil sources, not only from state-owned palm oil companies, but also from private mills. "Including working towards a mutually beneficial commercial scheme that can be agreed upon by all related parties for long-term contracts and price stability," he said.
The government of Japan is aggressive in developing renewable energy to replace fossil and nuclear energy. Biomass energy has become a renewable energy that is relied upon by the government of Japan because it can become a supplier of electricity for base loads in a stable manner.
According to data from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan, in 2030 Japan will build 24,000 MW of biomass power plants, where 20,000 megawatts (MW) will replace nuclear power plants and 4,000 MW will be new biomass power plants. At least 4 million tons worth US$1.46 billion, or 10 percent of these new power plants will utilize palm oil-based liquid fuel.
