印尼计划于2022年开始生产绿色柴油

据碳氢加工网12月4日消息，印尼能源和矿产资源部一位高级官员表示，印尼计划在2022年开始使用棕榈油生产绿色柴油，预计产量为370万千升。

全球最大的棕榈油生产国印度尼西亚希望开发绿色柴油，即第二代生物柴油。该公司目前使用的生物柴油是从棕榈油中提取脂肪酸甲酯(FAME)，再与化石燃料混合而成。

绿色柴油可以通过一个单一的过程来提炼化石原油和棕榈衍生品，或者在专门的炼油厂提炼棕榈油来生产。

印尼能源和矿产资源部可再生能源主管f.k. Sutijastoto在一次议会听证会上表示，他对2022年的产量预测是基于印尼国有能源公司PT Pertamina的一项商业计划，不过还需要进一步研究。

Pertamina目前正计划开发可以利用棕榈油生产柴油的炼油厂。

根据印尼能源和矿产资源部提交给议会的数据，到2024年，印尼应该能够将产量提高到610万千升。

Sutijastoto表示，有七家公司对建造炼油厂生产绿色柴油感兴趣，其中包括新加坡农业综合企业丰益国际(Wilmar International)。

从明年1月起，印尼将开始强制使用B30燃料，这是一种混合了30%生物柴油的混合燃料。它将从目前20%的生物含量扩展。

近几个月来，B30项目引发了棕榈油价格上涨，原因是人们担心印尼可供出口的棕榈油将减少。

印尼能源和矿产资源部周二公布的数据显示，预计到2022年，印尼将消耗1010万千升的生物柴油。

印尼总统Joko Widodo认为，生物柴油项目是抵消大量能源进口造成的经常账户赤字的一种方式，同时也支持了对棕榈油的需求。棕榈油是印尼主要的大宗商品出口之一。

Widodo要求进一步扩大生物柴油项目，并下令研究棕榈基燃料与航空燃料的混合。

Indonesia aims to start making green diesel in 2022

Indonesia plans to start producing green diesel from palm oil in 2022, with output estimated at 3.7 million kiloliters, a senior official in the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry said.

Indonesia, the world’s largest palm oil producer, wants to develop green diesel, a second generation biodiesel. It currently uses biodiesel made from fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from palm oil, which is blended with fossil fuel.

Green diesel can be made by refining fossil crude oil and palm derivatives together in a single process, or refining palm oil in dedicated refineries.

F.X. Sutijastoto, director general of renewable energy at the ministry, told a parliamentary hearing his estimate of 2022 production was based a align="justify">Pertamina is currently planning to develop refineries which can produce diesel from palm oil.

By 2024, Indonesia should be able to increase production to 6.1 million kiloliters, according to ministry data presented to parliament.

Sutijastoto said there seven companies were interested in building refineries to produce green diesel, including Wilmar International, a Singapore-based agribusiness firm.

From January, the country is set to bring in the mandatory use of B30 fuel, a biodiesel with 30% FAME blend. It would be expanded from the current 20% bio-content.

The B30 program has sparked palm price rally in recent months due to concerns that Indonesia will have less palm oil to export.
