        "summary": "Indonesia is preparing to launch a new petrol blend containing 5% bioethanol (E5), with the final decision resting with the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources. The government has resolved a key hurdle by removing the excise duty on ethanol and is focusing on developing domestic production capacity across various provinces. The initial rollout is planned for six regions in 2026, with a gradual expansion and an increase to a 10% blend (E10) by 2028.",
        "content": "<p>The Indonesian government is finalising plans to introduce a new\npetrol blend containing 5% bioethanol, known as E5, with the final\ndecision now in the hands of Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources\nBahlil Lahadalia. The programme, which had previously targeted a July\n2026 launch, is awaiting the minister\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n<p>Eniya Listiani Dewi, Director General of New, Renewable Energy, and\nEnergy Conservation at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources,\nstated that the government is pushing for the establishment of\nbioethanol plants across all provinces to secure domestic supply. \u201cWe\nare encouraging all business entities to build bioethanol plants in\nevery province, on every island. That is the concept,\u201d Eniya said.<\/p>\n<p>A significant barrier to the programme was removed with the\nelimination of the excise duty on ethanol. Eniya noted that the policy\nis now just waiting for the minister\u2019s decision, as the excise exemption\nprovides a clear investment signal. The programme will utilise various\nfeedstocks, including sugarcane bagasse, corn cobs, and bitter\ncassava.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Directorate General of New, Renewable Energy, and\nEnergy Conservation, the initial implementation of E5 in 2026 is planned\nfor six regions: East Java, DKI Jakarta, West Java, Banten, Central\nJava, and the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The plan outlines a phased\nexpansion, adding Bali in 2027, before increasing the bioethanol blend\nto 10% (E10) in 2028 while maintaining the same coverage area. A further\nexpansion of the E10 programme to include Lampung is scheduled for 2029\nto 2030.<\/p>",
