fuel prices go up

JAKARTA, JAMBIEKSPRES.CO.ID- CNG fuel, which is expected to replace Pertalite fuel, is eagerly awaited by the public.

The new fuel that will replace Pertalite (RON 90) is called CNG (compressed natural gas).

While the trademark of methane is called GasKu.

Methane called GasKu is advertised as a new fuel to replace perthalite, one of the subsidized fuel oils or fuels.

What is meant by GasKu? Perusahaan Gas Negara explained GasKu as the real step of the company in supporting the government program to convert the use of fuel oil (BBM) to fuel gas (BBG).

GasKu is a reliable natural gas with an optimal composition to meet the gas needs of the transportation sector.

GasKu has been used by several operators of refurbished taxis, bajajs, Transjakarta buses or other vehicles.

GasKu can currently be obtained at PGN’s Gas Filling Stations (SPBG) and Mobile Refueling Units (MRU) which are spread across DKI Jakarta, West Java, East Java, Lampung and Batam provinces.

There are several reasons why vehicles use GasKu, including affordable, clean, green and efficient.

What is my gas?

GasKu is a cost effective, safe and efficient fuel gas (BBG) product for vehicles supplied through PGN’s subsidiary, PT Gagas Energi Indonesia.

Who currently uses GasKu for transportation fuel?

Any vehicle that has been converted to gas fuel, whether public transportation such as bajajs and buses, or corporate operating vehicles and private vehicles.

What are the benefits if a petroleum powered vehicle (BBM) is converted to CNG?

JAKARTA, JAMBIEKSPRES.CO.ID —Besides being economical, Pertalite’s fuel substitute, namely CNG, is guaranteed to be very economical.

For the price, it’s a far cry from Pertalite. The price of methane (compressed natural gas) per liter is IDR 3,000.

Compare that to Pertalite, which currently costs Rp. 10,000 per litre.

As far as economics go, methane is 55 percent cheaper than Pertalite.

Methane is a gaseous fuel obtained by compressing methane (CH4) extracted from natural gas or also known as compressed natural gas.

This petrol substitute from Rp. 3,000 is cheaper than fuel oil.

CNG is also revealed by Pertamina to be more efficient and has performances that are not inferior to petrol.

The government’s move to introduce a new fuel to replace BBM is due to reduce the impact of motor vehicle exhaust emissions by developing various technologies, ranging from electric vehicles to alternative fuels.

The chief director of PGN (State Gas Company), M Haryo Yunianto explained that the use of methane as a substitute for gasoline is 55% more efficient than perthalite.

Not only that, when applying methane all that remains is to add a methane pipe measuring 14 x 53 cm so that it does not interfere with driving comfort for use on the motorbike.

M Haryo Yunianto explained that in addition to being cheaper than gasoline, CNG also performs better than perthalite because it is made of CNG which is clean and has a high octane rating.

With a high octane number, of course, it will be able to produce perfect combustion so that the methane not only provides good performance but also produces environmentally friendly exhaust emissions.

Again with M Haryo Yunianto, calculations made by Pertamina, using Pertalite fuel at 4 liters per day, when converted to CNG, the fuel subsidy is 125,000 kiloliters per year or more to replace petrol which is 55 percent more efficient.

Obviously safety is an important aspect, according to Haryo the safety level for methane is very good because it has a pressure of 200 bar, with a bigger tank than LGV and made of steel material.
