Jakarta (ANTARA) - Chairman of the Indonesia Japan Business Network\n(IJBNet) Dr.\u00a0Suyoto Rais said the development of Sustainable Aviation\nFuel (SAF) has the potential to become a new business field in\nstrengthening the economic partnership between Indonesia and Japan, amid\nthe growing demand of the global aviation industry for more sustainable\nfuel.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndonesia has large resources, markets and talent. Japan has\ntechnology, industrial experience and strong business networks. The\nchallenge is how to bring these two strengths together in the form of\nreal and sustainable cooperation,\u201d said Suyoto in a statement received\non Wednesday.<\/p>\n
IJBNet considers the development of SAF feedstock to be one of the\nimportant issues amid global demands for a more sustainable aviation\nindustry.<\/p>\n
This opportunity is one of the issues that brings together the\ngovernment, business players, research institutions and Japanese\npartners to encourage cooperation in various industrial sectors and\ndiscuss the potential development of feedstock and the SAF supply\nchain.<\/p>\n
According to Suyoto, the relationship between Indonesia and Japan has\nenormous potential. The two countries have needs and strengths that can\ncomplement each other, ranging from industry, technology, investment,\nenergy, the environment to human resources.<\/p>\n
At the IJBNet forum, Director General of Resilience, Regionalisation\nand International Industrial Access (KPAII) at the Ministry of Industry\nTri Supondy said changes in the global industrial landscape, including\ndemands for decarbonisation and the transition towards cleaner energy,\ncreate a need for collaboration between countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe partnership between Indonesia and Japan has a long history and\ncontinues to grow. Going forward, this cooperation must be increasingly\ndirected towards increasing investment, strengthening technology,\nimproving industrial competitiveness and developing human resources,\u201d\nsaid Tri.<\/p>\n
Tri said that in the context of SAF development, Indonesia-Japan\ncooperation can cover various aspects, from feedstock development and\nprocessing technology to building a supply chain that supports the\nproduction of sustainable aviation fuel.<\/p>\n
SAF development is also considered to open space for Indonesia to\ndevelop new industries that have linkages with the energy, agriculture,\ntechnology and aviation sectors.<\/p>\n
\u201cCollaboration between the government, the business world, research\ninstitutions and international partners is becoming increasingly\nimportant. Indonesia needs strategic partners who can jointly build a\nstrong, innovative and sustainable industry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
From the Japanese side, Charg\u00e9 d\u2019affaires ad interim of the Japanese\nEmbassy in Indonesia Myochin Mitsuru said relations between the two\ncountries have developed beyond conventional trade cooperation.<\/p>\n
In addition to SAF, a number of Japanese companies and organisations\npresent at the IJBNet forum introduced cooperation opportunities in the\ngreen power, renewable energy, environmental technology, space\ntechnology, business development and human resource development\nsectors.<\/p>\n
This shows that the decarbonisation agenda is beginning to open up\nbroader economic cooperation space between Indonesia and Japan. The\ntransition towards a low-carbon industry is not only an environmental\nagenda, but also has the potential to create new investment and value\nchains.<\/p>\n
IJBNet considers that future Indonesia-Japan cooperation development\nneeds to be directed towards forming an industrial ecosystem that\nconnects the government, the business world, research institutions and\nthe workforce.<\/p>\n
With this approach, the development of SAF and other green industry\nsectors is expected not to stop at technological cooperation, but can\ndevelop into investment and business activities that provide added value\nfor Indonesian industry.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ijbnet-saf-presents-new-business-frontier-for-indonesia-japan-partnership-1786531829", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
