Pertamina is reviewing a proposal to discontinue Pertalite, a gasoline fuel, and replace it with Pertamax Green 92 starting next year. Pertalite's Research Octane Number (RON) of 90 does not meet environmentally friendly emission standards.

Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. P.20 of 2017 mandates that motor vehicles must use at least RON 91 fuel to meet Euro 4 emission standards. However, this regulation has not been fully implemented, as RON 90 fuel is still widely available and its consumption continues to increase nationally.

Fuels with octane ratings below 91, such as Pertalite, have been phased out by many countries in the Asia-Pacific region. According to data from the Asian Clean Fuels Association (ACFA), Malaysia had already adopted a minimum RON 95 fuel by early 2020. Vietnam and Taiwan use a minimum of RON 92, while Thailand, the Philippines, South Korea, and Australia use a minimum of RON 91. Japan, China, and Indonesia were among the Asia-Pacific countries still consuming fuels below RON 91 by early 2020.

As of August 2023, Pertamina is still developing the plan to eliminate Pertalite and switch to Pertamax Green 92.

"The program is the result of Pertamina's internal review; there has been no decision from the government. We will certainly propose this and discuss it further," said Pertamina's President Director Nicke Widyawati during a hearing with Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) in Jakarta on Wednesday, August 30, 2023.

Nicke stated that if the proposal becomes a government program, the price will also be regulated by the government. "It's impossible for the price of Special Assignment Fuel Type (JBKP) to be left to the market, because there is a subsidy and compensation mechanism involved," Nicke said.
