The Indonesian government plans to distribute E5 biofuel, a blend of 95% gasoline and 5% bioethanol.

"The E5 plan will be implemented in Surabaya and surrounding areas. Currently, the readiness of its implementation is still being discussed and confirmed," said Dadan Kusdiana, Director General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), as reported by *Katadata* on Tuesday (February 14, 2023).

According to the Center for Research on Various Beans and Tubers (Balitkabi) of the Ministry of Agriculture, bioethanol is ethanol or an alcohol compound produced from the fermentation of biological raw materials, such as cassava, sugarcane, and corn.

Therefore, bioethanol is differentiated from synthetic ethanol, which is produced from non-biological raw materials, such as crude oil and natural gas.

Bioethanol also has varying levels of content and is classified according to its intended use: industrial grade, potable grade, and fuel grade.

According to a report by Edi Wibowo, Director of Bioenergy at the Ministry of ESDM, Indonesia currently only produces around 40,000 kiloliters of fuel-grade bioethanol per year.

This production capacity is far below the estimated initial needs for the blending program in Jakarta and East Java, which is estimated at 696,000 kiloliters per year.

"The supply available from PT Enero and PT Molindo, as producers of fuel-grade bioethanol, can only supply about 5.7% of the needs of East Java and Jakarta. This means that the supply side needs to be increased," said Edi in his press release on Tuesday (December 6, 2022).
