Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 32 of 2008 on the Provision, Use and Trading Procedures for Biofuel as Alternative Fuel willsoon be repealed and replaced by a new regulation.
This was confirmed by Robert A. John, Head of the legal department at the Directorate General of New Energy, Renewables and Energy Conservation.
The new regulation will broaden the definition of biofuels from simply covering liquid biofuels to additionally encompassing solidand gas biofuels as well as liquid biofuels.
Robert explained that the new regulation will require companies in the mineral and coal mining industries to use a certain level of biofuel. A similar requirement will also apply to power plants.
He continued by explaining that there will be administrative sanctions for those who fail to carry out their obligations and that these sanctions will be administered by the Directorate General of New Energy, Renewables and Energy Conservation.
Related to this, Kurtubi, Head of the Center for Petroleum and Energy Economic Studies, made the point that it is also important to pay attention to the implementation of the new regulation.
“A good regulation does not bring about a positive impact if it is not implemented properly,” he asserted.
A crucial aspect in implementing the new regulation, according to Kuturbi, is the production of biofuels. The Government must guarantee the sustainable production of biofuels to meet national consumption and take measures to avoid seasonal fluctuations.
In addition, the Government must also attend to controlling the quality of biofuels to ensure that water content does not reach levels that cause damage to machinery.
“The quality of machinery and the environment must be maintained. Indeed, this is a little more expensive in the long run, but the raw materials for biofuels are expensive,” Kurtubi concluded.
