PT Pertamina Patra Niaga has recorded that the implementation of biosolar with a 50% biodiesel blend, known as B50, has reached 94% nationwide. At least 6,050 out of a total of 6,412 petrol stations distributing Biosolar have already begun distributing B50.

The President Director of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, Mars Ega Legowo Putra, stated that 362 petrol stations are still supplying B40. These 362 stations are located in regions facing challenges regarding handling and distribution processes, particularly in remote areas.

“From the 6,412 petrol stations distributing Biosolar, 6,050 stations have distributed B50. There are still 362 stations distributing B40. This is due to handling and distribution factors, especially as most of these are located in remote areas,” Mars Ega said during a working meeting with Commission XII of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) on Tuesday (8/9/2026).

According to him, regionally, the distribution of B50 within Pertamina Patra Niaga’s operational areas has also reached high levels. In Northern Sumatra, for example, 96% of petrol stations have distributed B50, while Southern Sumatra has reached 93%.

In West Java, the implementation of B50 has reached 99% of petrol stations, while Central Java has reached 98%. Furthermore, Kalimantan has reached 95%, Sulawesi 96%, and East Java, Bali, and Nusa Tenggara (Jatimbalinus) stands at 96%.

“Currently, we are in the stage of increasing B50 distribution in the Papua-Maluku regional area,” he added.
