FUEL PLANT PROFILE (BBN)

Development of bio-fuels as an energy substitute vegetable oil, in terms of people's welfare development is very useful; ie not only viewed from the side of the provision of alternative energy opportunities that will be able to replace oil because its supply is depleted, but also will provide greater opportunity to improvequality of the environment, create jobs, and increase incomes.
Environmental improvements in Indonesia, can be done by cultivating a variety of bio-fuel crops on barren forests and critical land which has now reached 58 million hectares. With the development of producing bio-fuel plantations on a large scale will improve the global climate, increasing reserves and availability of ground water for the residents, as well as reducing the danger of floods and other disasters that now often occur as a result of deforestation. Further utilization of biofuels as an environmentally friendly fuel will have an impact on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
For the development of bio-fuel plantation tananam can provide synergistic results for the welfare of the people, it needs to be addressed with a focused and sustainable planning. For example with no overall acreage cultivated in monoculture plantations, because it will have adverse impacts on biodiversity and human.
In addition, the development of various plant materials commodity bio-fuel is a big business that can create jobs and increase incomes of the people. If bio-fuels developed for domestic consumption, then in 2010 is expected to absorb the 3-5 million jobs. In addition it will also reduce the subsidy of at least 10% fuel utilization, save foreign exchange worth U.S. $ 10 billion, and 5 million hectares of cultivated land.
Tananam that can be developed for bio-fuels include oil, palm oil, palm / palm, jatropha, sugar cane, cassava / cassava, were all among the public and easily diltanam.
To increase real income of the people, and that quality and productivity in developing the commodity becomes optimal, it must be done with the patterns of partnerships with entrepreneurs and manufacturers guidance and assurance that the market correctly can provide results that can ultimately be enjoyed by the community. It is hoped the community can organize groups of business development of bio-fuels, such as farmers' group distances, cassava farmers and other institutions that clear through such cooperatives, so as to provide the bargaining position or strength of a better socio-economic, including to obtain credit from banks and establish selling price agreement.
In developing bio-fuels program, the Provincial Government, District and City to raise sumberdana. Calculation of the development of bio-fuels to 6 million hectares of land that absorbs 3-5 million workers need about Rp. 250 trillion, which is for on-farm and off-farm reached Rp. Rp 200 trillion and Infrastructure. 50 trillion. These funds may not be sufficiently supplied from the state budget, so it is necessary to mobilize public funds, businesses, NGOs, donors are expected to develop the Trust Fund or the Fund Amanah to support bio-fuel program, that can be used as a poverty alleviation program.
The Government will support fundraising for the development of bio-fuel is by establishing a trust fund green energy, which can be sold commercially in the bond market nationally and internationally.Need a new breakthrough in order to increase employment, increase incomes and reduce poverty by one of them through the acceleration of the development of Bio Fuel.
This step is done by considering some basic principles, namely:1. Objective: creation of new jobs for an additional 3-5 million people in between 2006-2010.2. Programme of Action Green Energy is one of the instruments to achieve these goals through Palm Cultivation & Industrial plants, Sugarcane, Cassava and Jatropha up with an area of ​​6 million hectares.3. Complement existing programs.4. Ensuring economic program, and not rely on state budget5. Maximize the role of business and society.6. Maximize the size of the program, but workable
Empirical data on employment for every unit of energy equivalent to Bio Fuel 7 to 15 times higher than gasoline. To produce 2500 barrels of oil equivalent per day to absorb as much labor as:1. 750 people in the oil and gas industry.2. 10,000 people in bio-oil.3. 6,000 people in bio-ethanol.
Vegetable Fuel Development, other than employment (Pro-Job) and reduce levels of poverty (Pro-Poor) also will strengthen the system of National Economy (Pro-Growth) and improve the environment (Pro-Planet), because:1. Potential to generate foreign exchange (Bio Fuel is a global commodity).2. Potentially reduce fuel subsidies, strengthening the fiscal budget.3. Potentially increase the security of energy supply is required.4. Potentially improve the environment, thus increasing sustainable economic development.
Target to 2010:1. Job creation, through the Biofuel Development Program, for 3 to 5 million.2. Increased revenue 3 to 5 million workers On-Farm & Off-Farm in Green Energy industry minimum = minimum wage.3. Fuel consumption reduction of at least 10%.4. Foreign exchange savings of about U.S. $ 10 billion.5. Increased biofuel exports about 12 million KL.6. Pembudidayaanlahanterlantarminimal 5 million ha.7. Rural Development & Food Self-Energy.
Strategic Environment:1. Price developments minyakdunia unpredictable and prone to political interference.2. Biofuels or their raw materials is a global commodity and run according to market mechanisms.3. CPO price in addition to the influence of the market (demand & supply, import & export policy, rivals other commodities such as soybeans, rapeseed oil) also issue / consumer perceptions of CPO.4. The use of biofuels in developed & developing countries (USA, EU, Brazil, India, Thailand & China) could affect the price of their raw materials.5. Ethanol is besarmendorong KetersediaanBio-car industry by machine type FFV (flexible fuel vehicle) can use Bio-Ethanol up to 100%.6. The strategic location of Indonesia in Asia and has the SDA & human resources for the development of biofuels, including for increasing world consumption.

High prices fuel gas and oil to make the developed countries and also developing working to find a way to get alternative energy sources.
Pravda, Thursday (06/08/2009) launch, ethanol-based alternative fuel produced from corn or sugar cane, not enough to overcome this problem. Because, to produce one liter of ethanol requires a hydrocarbon raw in the same amount. Hydrocarbons are chemicals that can produce diesel fuel.
This problem will most likely be solved with the help of microscopic parasitic fungi that live in the substance of the wood of a tree and break down the cellulose so as to produce a mixture of hydrocarbons.
Wood cellulose to be the best place for mushroom producers of hydrocarbons to produce fuel. But to take it, it is very difficult because it must break down the cellulose structure of wood is strong. Specific enzymes required for the process.
The researchers say the study, the material a little diesel fuel produced by this fungus will provide enough power for one tractor to work.
Therefore, they continue to develop these findings. According to them, it may hold the genetic analysis and detect genes in fungi and transplanting it in other organisms to produce fuel from wood covered with mold.
