alternative energy maize
corn energy futureIf the first green gold designation given to logs because substantial contribution to state revenue , next to the title seems to be shifting to crops that can be used as an alternative energy . Defeating this will replace the green gold sheen black gold we are now beginning to fade due to reduced crude oil reserves . Moreover, imports of crude oil and products minj'ak tend to increase every year in line with higher commodity prices in the international market . alternative energy maize For that reason the government issued Presidential Regulation . 5/2006 and Presidential Decree No. . 1/2006 on January 25, 2006 on Energy Policy , in particular the use of energy derived from vegetable oils , such as distance pieces . Although the emphasis is more to the development of alternative energy plant spacing , does not mean another plant that can produce bioethanol ignored . As disclosed Ariyati Ratna , Director of Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation , Directorate General of Electricity and Energy Utilization at the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources in the workshop use ethanol as an alternative energy fuel mix , recently. alternative energy maize" Government continues to encourage the use of alternative energy sources raw materials and many other plants that can be developed in Indonesia. " Besides jatropha , crude palm oil , cassava , and sugar cane , it turns out there are other plants that bisadimanfaatkan to be ethanol ( ethyl alcohol ) such as sugar - beet , wheat , danjagung . Agus Eko Tjahjono , Chief Technology Center Pati , BPPT , revealing long macarn BPPT has been researching various crops such as cassava , molasses , fruit distances up corn as feedstock bioethanol . The result , bioethanol has several advantages , such as lower emission levels , 's environment friendly and combustion results in the form of C02 is needed for plants to grow. alternative energy maize However, this energy can not replace the existing fuel since this product can only be used as a mixture . " Maybe the composition of 40% bioethanol and 60 % gasoline . " One of the potential crop corn crop is corn that could be developed . Andy Gumala , Asean Business Manager PT DuPont Indonesia , said that the potential for very large corn Indonesia and has multimanfaat . " During this time a lot of corn used for animal feed . Though this product can also be used as bioethanol as has been done in the United States . Fact, this energy can be continuously updated , " he added . According to Andy , of the matter is simple , if the assumption of ethanol to replace 10 % of the fuel needs of the country reached 60 million kiloliters / year , it would require 6 million x 2.4 tonnes of maize which means 14.4 million tons of corn or equivalent with 3 million hectares of corn crops . alternative energy maize Land as much as it could be developed in areas such as North Sumatra , Lampung , Central Java , East Java , and Aceh . Could even more corn plants that could be developed if other regions also responded to the development of bioethanol . With fuel prices high tan skirt - like Pertamax which sold for RpS.300 per liter , the business made from corn ethanol production is still profitable . Count-count to produce one liter of ethanol takes 2.4 kg of maize , where the price per kilogram of corn Rpl.300 , so the cost Rp3.120 . While to produce the energy equivalent of one liter of 1.3 liters of ethanol needed PERTAMAX atausetara with Rp4.200 . Taking into account the advantages of pro - Dusen and distribution channels , then the price to end users around Rp4.500 - Rp 5,000 per liter . In addition , the residue can also be used as animal feed . As an illustration of satuton processed corn residues or residues will produce approximately 318 kilograms . Fulfillment of national needs without relying on imported corn ( self-sufficiency ) seems to have achieved . As spoken KetUc National Corn Board Fadel Muhammad is asking the government to stop the policy of importing maize from 2007 as domestic production has begun to rise and meet the national needs . It's just that the government should encourage the development of corn plants either regular or hybrid as well as other plants in order to supply feedstock to the ethanol plant can be continuous , so that investments in this area will grow. Currently alone there are 11 investors who are ready to build bioethanol and biodiesel plant in Indonesia with a capacity of 50,000 kiloliters to 150,000 kiloliters per year , with investment about 300 billion per plant . Investors certainly requires certainty and continuity of supply of raw materials , so that alternative energy development program could run as expected . references from www.alpensteel.com
