flag Indonesia and Brazil to boost ethanol biofuels, targeting E10 gasoline by 2027 using local crops.

flag Indonesia has signed a cooperation agreement with Brazil to develop ethanol-based biofuels, aiming to implement a mandatory E10 gasoline blend by 2027, with potential expansion to E20. flag The move, approved by President Prabowo Subianto and led by Energy Minister Bahlil Lahadalia, seeks to reduce fuel imports, cut emissions, and boost rural economies by producing 1.4 million kiloliters of ethanol annually from local crops like cassava, corn, and sugarcane. flag The initiative draws on Brazil’s experience with high ethanol blends and flexible-fuel vehicles, with Indonesia sending teams to study Brazil’s model and inviting Brazilian investment. flag The government will offer tax holidays and guaranteed market access to attract private sector participation.
