apanese automaker Toyota plans to partner with state-owned energy giant Pertamina to build a Rp 2.5 trillion (US$155 million) bioethanol plant in Lampung, a government official has said.
The facility will support Indonesia’s upcoming E10 policy, which requires blending a share of 10 percent ethanol derived from renewable biomass into all gasoline starting in 2027.
Toyota and Pertamina aimed to establish a joint venture for the project by early 2026, Deputy Investment and Downstreaming Minister Todotua Pasaribu said on Monday.
“As a pioneer project, it was discussed that [Toyota] would collaborate with Pertamina New Renewable Energy (NRE) in Lampung,” Todotua said in a statement.
“The feedstock will not only come from companies but also involve local farmers and cooperatives, helping to stimulate the regional economy. The plant’s energy supply will also be integrated with Pertamina’s geothermal and hydrogen facilities.”
