Indonesia's bio-fuel

Indonesia fell down from colleagues of oil-producing countries and it was quite a shock for Indonesian. Even in the National Assembly, the tops of related companies were summoned and asked whether to really go down crude oil production. For the mandatory use of biofuels, the Philippines recently made legislation. But, at that time, ASEAN countries said in a calm, watching the Philippines how going it's mandatory of biofuels.

However, Indonesia was unable to stand with fears, and Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro has implemented the mandatory registration as a ministerial ordinance of 2008, from October 1 as fuel to generate a certain amount of mandatory biofuels incorporation, and attempts, 2009 From January 1, said bio-mass and the incorporation of 5% duty due to go into full operation. In particular, cassava, sugarcane and sweet sorghum for bioethanol can take from the current 192,349-kilo-liter, but in 2010, it is target significantly to increase to four-million-kilo-litters.

The total amount of the current world production, according to sound information and materials, at the end of 2005, is 3,650 million kilo liter of bioethanol. Bioethanol is the mainstream in the future, and the United States, Brazil's production of two prominent countries, followed by EU, China, India, and the amount of production is expanding. The production of bioethanol is for blending with gasoline directly. Some states in the United States and Brazil, the ratio of mixing is made mandatory.

Mr.Suzuki Takamura, as also I introduced before. His macro figures are into easy-to-head. "The current arable land in developing countries untapped has potential of l 2,054 million ha, and farmland will be developed as a 1,059 million ha, with the rest of the rotation 995 million ha for the forest bio-methanol (methanol is not bioethanol), equivalent to oil in 5.8 billion tons. ", He said. "The total demand for 2100 will be 11,2 billion tons, and 6.0 billion tons from hydropower and nuclear, 5.2 billion tons by bio-methanol."

I think Mr.Suzuki denies the bioethanol from cassava, sugarcane and sweet sorghum as in Indonesia. He is saying biomethanol from plantation in the wasteland. I argued, biofuels is unable to be major alternative fuel. Global energy use in terms of collecting a major fuel around the earth may violate the land of the world. Fuel oil from the bio-economy in the process of producing more carbon dioxide emissions, a study says. It may be just enough to make a feint to crud oil prices.

Another,
India has the subject of heavy electric machinery makers. Mr.Ramesh, India's minister of state flew from Kathmandu to Kolkata to make big one point. NTPC and BHEL in both the Corporation was promoting 5,000MW project. Ramesh has pushed for private companies into the project with 51 percent of shares by force. Now it is good timing, the day before yesterday, in the U.S. House, U.S. India nuclear agreement was approved. The problem in Colkata involves Larsen & Toubro, who made a partnership with Toshiba in Japan. And, Toshiba bought Westinghouse for the nuclear strategy. Toshiba may eyeing India's nuclear. Heavy electric machinery industry in India is suddenly now in Heavy electric machinery industry in India is suddenly in the whirlwind.
