Indonesian-Made Bobibos Gasoline Achieves RON 98, Focus Shifts to Production
Translated from Indonesian, summarized and contextualized by DistantNews.
TLDR
- Indonesian company PT Inti Sinergi Formula has developed a new gasoline called Bobibos with a research octane number (RON) of 98.1.
- The company is focusing on developing the gasoline type due to positive lab results from the Indonesian Oil and Gas Institute (Lemigas) and a request from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
- Bobibos, made from plant-based materials like straw, is positioned as an affordable alternative to petroleum-based fuels, with potential for mass production in Indonesia and Timor Leste.
As a proud Indonesian enterprise, PT Inti Sinergi Formula is at the vanguard of developing sustainable and affordable energy solutions for our nation and beyond. Our innovative gasoline, Bobibos, has achieved a remarkable RON 98.1, as confirmed by the esteemed Lembaga Minyak dan Gas Bumi (Lemigas). This achievement, coupled with its low production cost, positions Bobibos as a game-changer in the Indonesian fuel market.
Hasil uji pertama sudah jelas dan clear, Bobibos memiliki RON 98. Dan itu yang mengeluarkan hasil labnya, Lemigas juga. Jadi kami diminta fokus pada pengembangan Bobibos jenis bensin oleh Ditjen Migas Kementerian ESDM
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has rightly urged us to concentrate on this gasoline variant, recognizing its potential to alleviate the burden of high fuel prices on our citizens. In a world grappling with energy uncertainty and volatile oil prices, Bobibos, derived from readily available plant materials like straw, offers a vital alternative. This aligns perfectly with the Indonesian government's push for energy independence and the development of renewable resources.
Our vision extends beyond domestic borders. We have already established a strong partnership with Timor Agranova SA in Timor Leste, where Bobibos is already in production. The enthusiastic reception from the Prime Minister and President of Timor Leste underscores the global appeal of our product. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to bring mass production to Indonesia, further solidifying our nation's role in the global energy transition.
Nah Bobibos menjawab itu semua. Kita punya alternatif bahan bakar nabati, juga ongkos produksi dan jualnya saya katakan sangat murah. Bobibos RON 98 harganya empat sampai lima ribu rupiah, jauh dibandingkan RON 98 dari BBM yang paling murah saja 15 hingga 20 ribuan. Jadi bisa menjadi alternatif bagi masyarakat dan seluruh rakyat Indonesia
The benefits of embracing Bobibos are manifold for Indonesia. It promises to significantly reduce the cost of fuel for our people, enhance our energy security by decreasing reliance on imported oil, support our agricultural sector by creating a market for straw, and contribute to a cleaner environment. This is not merely a fuel; it is a pathway to economic empowerment and national self-sufficiency, a testament to Indonesian ingenuity.
Di Timor Leste kami sudah produksi. Tinggal menunggu waktu yang pas untuk launching massalnya, karena Perdana Menteri dan Presiden Timor Leste akan ikut hadir bersama. Semoga setelah itu kita juga produksi massal di Indonesia
