Indonesia is promoting the use of biofuels for achieving a fair, equitable, and people-centered energy transition, according to the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry.
“Speaking of green jobs, the biofuel industry is the second-largest renewable energy sector in terms of employment, behind solar energy. It is estimated that the biofuel industry employs around 2.4 million people globally, not including other related upstream and downstream sectors,” expert staff for strategic planning at the ministry, Yudo Dwinanda Priaadi, said at a webinar themed “Biofuels for Green Economy,” held as part of the 2022 G20 Indonesia Presidency series, hosted by the ministry on Thursday.
