Workshop on clean fuel

JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian and British governments held a
joint workshop here on Tuesday to promote the use of clean fuel
in the country.

The workshop, which was organized by the Indonesian-British
Oil and Gas Working Group, was jointly opened by the director
general of oil and gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral
Resources, Rachmat Sudibyo, British Ambassador to Indonesia
Richard Gozney and Indonesian Ambassador to Britain Nana
Sutresna.

The working group was established last year by the Indonesian
and British governments to promote bilateral ties in oil and gas
investment, technology and trade.

Rachmat Sudibyo said Indonesia was committed to promoting the
use of clean fuel in line with the national Blue Sky campaign to
reduce air pollution.

Through the program, which was launched in 1996, the
government hopes to reduce air pollution by cutting the use of
leaded gasoline.

He said the workshop provided opportunities for Indonesia to
learn from other countries in promoting the use of clean fuel.

The workshop featured a representative of British firm Foster
Wheeler Energy Ltd., according to Antara news agency. (03)
