        "summary": "Pertamina NRE has launched a Bioethanol Development Center in Tegineneng, Pesawaran, Lampung, employing a multi-feedstock, multi-generation approach using first- and second-generation technologies with local raw materials. Sorghum, harvestable three times a year, was selected as the key crop, with its juice used for 1G bioethanol and residual biomass for 2G production. The pilot facility, with a capacity of 60 kilolitres per year, is expected to anchor Lampung as an end-to-end bioethanol hub, with results informing future commercial-scale development.",

The launch event was attended by various\nstakeholders from the government, Pertamina, industry, academia, and\nstrategic partners.<\/p>\n<p>Attendees included Vice Minister of Investment and\nDownstreaming\/Deputy Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM)\nTodotua Pasaribu, Pertamina\u2019s President Commissioner Mochamad Iriawan,\nPertamina\u2019s Risk Management Director Ahmad Siddik Badruddin, Pertamina\nNRE President Director John Anis, Lampung Governor Rahmat Mirzani\nDjausal, as well as Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN)\nPresident Director Nandi Julyanto and Toyota Tsusho Indonesia (TTI)\nPresident Director Toru Murakami.<\/p>\n<p>Pertamina NRE President Director John Anis explained that the\nBioethanol Development Center was developed using a multi-feedstock and\nmulti-generation approach. This means the center utilizes various local\nraw materials and both first-generation (1G) and second-generation (2G)\nbioethanol production technologies.<\/p>\n<p>The launch momentum was also marked by the signing of two memorandums\nof understanding. These include a Joint Agreement between Pertamina NRE\nand the Lampung Provincial Government for agribusiness, energy, and food\nsecurity development in Lampung, and a Memorandum of Understanding\nbetween Pertamina NRE, TMMIN, TTI, and the Research Association of\nBiomass Innovation for Next Generation Automobile Fuels (raBit) to\nexplore the technical and commercial potential of sustainable bioethanol\nproduction and utilization in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>John further explained in his presentation that sorghum is an\ninteresting raw material to develop because it has competitive\nproductivity potential and harvest cycles. Sorghum development in\nLampung is directed at applying a multi-generation approach, which\nutilizes sweet sorghum juice as a first-generation (1G) bioethanol raw\nmaterial, while the stalks or remaining biomass after juice extraction\ncan be developed as second-generation (2G) bioethanol raw material.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is interesting about this sorghum, besides its productivity, is\nthat its cycle can reach three harvests a year,\u201d John stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Bioethanol Development Center in Lampung was developed as a pilot\nfacility with a bioethanol production capacity of up to 60 kiloliters\nper year. This facility will be used to test various combinations of raw\nmaterials and technologies, ranging from pre-treatment, hydrolysis,\nfermentation, distillation, to dehydration, including pre-treatment\nstages for 2G raw material processing.<\/p>\n<p>The launch of the Bioethanol Development Center also marks the\nbeginning of Lampung\u2019s development as an end-to-end bioethanol\ndevelopment hub, starting from raw material development and cultivation\nto processing and technology validation. Moving forward, the test\nresults on a pilot scale will serve as the basis for technical,\neconomic, and commercial assessments to determine development toward\ndemonstration and commercial scales.<\/p>\n<p>News Recomendation<\/p>\n<p>Memuat berita terbaru\u2026..<\/p>",
