The Sustainable Biofuel Innovation project showcases Indonesia’s breakthrough in renewable fuel development through the use of sweet sorghum as a sustainable, high-yield feedstock. With the pilot phase successfully completed in October 2025, this initiative demonstrates the technical feasibility and commercial readiness of producing green diesel at scale — positioning Indonesia as a frontrunner in the global transition to low-carbon energy.
In partnership with a Singapore-based technology provider, this project integrates cutting-edge bioconversion technology with large-scale agricultural potential, unlocking a new era of sustainable energy production driven by local resources.
Location & Development Scope
Designed for multi-site implementation across Indonesia, the project leverages diverse regional climates suitable for sorghum cultivation — a crop known for its drought resistance, rapid growth, and high sugar yield. With a potential landbank of 400,000 hectares, the platform offers significant scalability to meet both domestic and international biofuel demand.
Project Specifications
- Feedstock Source: Sweet Sorghum
- Technology Partner: Singapore-based technology provider
- Pilot Status: Successfully completed – October 2025
- Potential Landbank: 400,000 hectares available
Project Advantages
- Proven Technology: Pilot project validated technical and economic viability.
- Large-Scale Readiness: 400,000 hectares of available land enable rapid production scale-up.
- Sustainable Feedstock: Sorghum is drought-tolerant, fast-growing, and ideal for marginal lands.
- Advanced Conversion Technology: Singapore-based partner ensures high efficiency and yield in biofuel production.
- Market Ready: Infrastructure and technology in place for swift commercialization.
- Carbon Negative: Strong ESG profile through carbon sequestration and displacement of fossil diesel.
Market Opportunity
Indonesia produces over 65 million tonnes of agricultural residues annually, yet only a fraction is utilized for renewable fuel. Green diesel from sorghum represents a scalable, sustainable alternative that reduces reliance on imported fossil fuels and supports the country’s energy independence.
As demand for advanced biofuels accelerates globally — driven by both regulatory targets and corporate net-zero commitments — this project is strategically positioned to supply emerging markets in Asia and beyond.
Impact Potential
This initiative holds the potential to:
- Displace millions of litres of fossil diesel annually with renewable fuel.
- Generate thousands of rural jobs through large-scale sorghum cultivation.
- Promote sustainable land use and carbon-negative farming.
- Establish Indonesia as a regional biofuel innovation and export hub.
Investment Opportunity
Investors are invited to participate in the commercial development phase of this proven, scalable biofuel platform. The upcoming expansion will focus on production facility construction, supply chain optimization, and export readiness.
