tate-owned oil and gas firm PT Pertamina plans to set up 22 gas-filling stations (SPBGs) and seven mobile refueling units (MRUs) worth US$180 million in total this year in a bid to accelerate energy conversion from fossil fuel to gas.
"Programs to convert fossil fuels to gas are very important in reducing fuel consumption in Indonesia," Pertamina media manager Adiatma Sardjito said in Jakarta on Wednesday as quoted by kontan.co.id.
According to the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministerial decree No. 2435/2014, Pertamina is tasked with setting up SPBGs and MRUs in Jakarta, Banten, West Java and Central Java.
