        "content": "<p>Head of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) Arif\nSatria revealed that President Prabowo Subianto has requested a\ncomprehensive study on the impact of implementing mandatory biodiesel\nblends ranging from 60% to 100% derived from plant-based materials. The\nPresident also asked for a study on the implementation of petrol and\nbioethanol blends from 30% to 100%. \u201cWe were asked to study the\nimplications of implementing B60, B100, and also E30, because Brazil has\nalready reached E100. So BRIN was asked to conduct a holistic study on\nthis energy policy,\u201d Arif said following a meeting of 150 BRIN\nresearchers with President Prabowo Subianto on Thursday. Currently, the\nmandatory biodiesel blend for diesel fuel is only at B50. Arif noted\nthat the President was also very interested in waste-to-energy\nsolutions, including an organic waste processing tool called Lahsamor\nand pyrolysis technology that can produce energy sources for fishermen.\nThis technology has already been applied in 80 locations, alongside\nlarge-scale PSEL technology capable of processing 100 tonnes per day. In\nthe energy sector, the President highlighted Absorbed Natural Gas (ANG)\ntechnology, which can store Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) at a pressure\nof 30 bar. Arif claimed that if implemented, this technology could save\nthe state up to Rp 26 trillion per year. \u201cIf this is applied, it could\nsave Rp 26 trillion annually related to energy. This research is ongoing\nand currently being tested; we hope if it can be developed further, it\nwill be an energy revolution in Indonesia,\u201d he stated. The President\nalso observed environmentally friendly roofing technology made from palm\noil and coconut waste. Additionally, the N-219 amphibious aircraft,\ndeveloped by PTDI and BRIN, was highlighted as it eliminates the need\nfor expensive runway investments by using water for take-off and\nlanding.<\/p>",
