  • PT Elnusa Petrofin (EPN) is supporting Indonesia's national B50 biodiesel mandate through the initial distribution of industrial biosolar.
  • This initiative is part of Pertamina Group's strategic efforts to support the national energy transition agenda and bolster energy security with domestic resources.
  • The distribution follows a ministerial decree mandating a 50% biodiesel blend and involves Elnusa Petrofin ensuring operational readiness from terminal to distribution.

PT Elnusa Petrofin (EPN), a subsidiary of PT Elnusa Tbk. and part of Pertamina Group's Upstream Subholding, is actively supporting the national mandatory B50 program. This support is being realized through the initial distribution of industrial biosolar B50 from the Fuel Terminal Indonesia Bulk Terminal (IBT) in Pulau Laut, South Kalimantan, to various industrial sectors.

This milestone is a critical component of the Pertamina Group's strategic plan to advance the national energy transition agenda. Furthermore, the B50 mandate aims to strengthen energy resilience by increasing the utilization of domestic biofuel resources. The distribution initiative aligns with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources' decree, which mandates a 50% blend of biodiesel with solar fuel (B50), supported by the Oil Palm Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDP).

As an integral part of Pertamina Group's energy logistics ecosystem, Elnusa Petrofin is responsible for ensuring the operational readiness of terminals, managing the blending process, and distributing the B50 product to industrial clients. The company's involvement underscores its commitment to providing a secure, reliable, and efficient energy supply chain to facilitate the national B50 implementation.

Doni Indrawan, President Director of PT Elnusa Petrofin, stated that the initial distribution of B50 for the industrial sector exemplifies the Pertamina Group's collaborative efforts in backing the government's strategic objectives for national energy independence and sustainable transition. "Elnusa Petrofin is proud to be part of the Pertamina Group's ecosystem in supporting the initial distribution of industrial biosolar B50, especially for the mining sector which plays a vital role in the national economy. This is our contribution to ensuring the energy transformation proceeds reliably, safely, and sustainably," Doni remarked.

Indrawan added that the successful implementation highlights the operational capabilities and infrastructure managed by Elnusa Petrofin in supporting Pertamina's strategic initiatives, including the ongoing reinforcement of the energy transition and decarbonization agenda. The company is committed to maintaining operational excellence and upholding high standards in health, safety, security, and environment (HSSE) across all its activities, leveraging technology, human resources, and integrated operational governance to ensure the distribution of future energy.
