Dahnum expressed confidence that the innovation would reduce Indonesia’s dependence on fossil fuels. Moreover, it supports the local agricultural sector by utilizing a renewable resource that is both environmentally friendly and sustainable. She hopes that further research and development will help bring the technology to a commercial stage, contributing to the nation’s long-term energy sustainability.

Indonesia’s growing need for sustainable energy solutions makes this project particularly timely. The research aligns with global trends toward cleaner, greener alternatives to traditional fossil fuels, and could place Indonesia at the forefront of biofuel innovation in Southeast Asia.

The BRIN-developed bio-jet fuel project offers a promising solution to multiple challenges. It addresses the need for renewable energy, reduces waste, and supports local farmers by creating new markets for non-consumable coconuts. As the project progresses, it is expected to play a key role in Indonesia’s transition toward a more sustainable energy future.(Uki Ruknuddin)
