Indonesian Aviation Biofuels and Renewable Energy Task Force (ABRETF) | | | Objective | |
Indonesia’s
ABRETF was established as one of supporting elements in executing Indonesia’s
National Action Plan to reduce GHG emission from the aviation sector. ABRETF
aims to reduce these emissions through utilization of sustainable alternative
fuels and renewable energy. The mid-term goal is to reinforce Indonesian
utilization of bio-jet fuel by 2018.

Status On-going | | Description |
In December 2013 an MOU was
signed between the Ministry of Transportation (DGCA) and the Ministry of Energy
and Mineral Resources (Directorate General of Renewable Energy and Energy
Conservation – EBTKE) to pursue the use of aviation biofuels and renewable
energy at airports.
In August 2014 the Aviation
Biofuels and Renewable Energy Task Force (ABRETF) was created. This group
consists of four Sub Task Forces working on: formulation of policy, regulation
and capacity building program; research and development; testing and
certification; commercial, risk analysis and sustainability. 
Since October 2014, the ICAO
Technical Cooperation Bureau has supported Indonesia ABRETF through the MSA
Annex 5 INS13801 project.
Based on the Ministry of
Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 25 Year 2013, the use of bio-jet fuel
has been mandated on a national level. This requires 2% bio jet fuel
blending in 2016, 3% by 2020, and 5% by 2025. Due to national
circumstances, the Task Force identified that the 2016 goal will not be
achieved. However, Indonesia oil producer has shown their commitment to start
production by late 2018, with a production capacity of 257,000 kl/year.
