In Indonesia, the Transportation Ministry and the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry have signed an agreement on the use of aviation biofuel and renewable energy sources at airports.
The agreement seeks to establish a working team that will be responsible for planning, preliminary work and sustainable execution and will serve from 2014 to 2016. Embodied in the national energy conservation efforts, the said agreement will be part of a broader effort by the Transportation Ministry to reduce greenhouse emissions and mitigate climate change.
The Transportation Ministry issued a regulation in 2013 stipulating the gradual implementation of aviation biofuel, with a usage target of 3 percent by 2020.
