Coordinating minister admitted that the implementation of B20 as the substitute of B0 can not be used for now
News24xx.com - Previously the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs had inaugurated the launch of mandatory mixing of biodiesel with diesel 20 percent (B20) which was put into effect since September 1, 2018.
This is an obligation to mix B20 biodiesel as an effort to reduce the deficit and import of fuel oil, and save foreign exchange. Reporting from Kompas.com on (31/8), Darmin said, "This impact can also save foreign exchange because the diesel or the mixture we mix with crude palm oil (CPO), means reduced solubility needs."
"Therefore, since September 1, 2018 there will be no more B0 products on the market and be replaced with B20. Optimization and expansion of B20 usage is estimated to save around USD 2 billion in the last four months in 2018," Nasution explained.
However, this government policy was declared a failure, the mandatory B20 policy encountered obstacles in the implementation in the field. As a result, the foreign exchange savings target of USD 2.3 billion this year is threatened with failure.
This was acknowledged by Darmin, "The previous B20 implementation did not go well. So the current implementation cannot be measured easily. We have not finished, the food was reconciled first. Let us reconcile to the end," Darmin said in his office on Tuesday (18 / 9) night.
The same was conveyed by Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar. "We are still matching data, reviewing the impact of implementing B20 on reducing imports and saving foreign exchange."
"How much is the impact data on reducing imports, how much impact does it have on foreign exchange, what numbers does it have for example, how much volume, how much realization, what plan, next year, this year. So that's all. We have a long discussion about what numbers we use all this time it is consistent or not, "said the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs.
"There are problems in the field, especially from the technical side. The supply chain problem is there, we will calculate the numbers later. Don't get conclusions too quickly," he added.
