Alternative energy: Indonesia plans renewable alternative energy

The Indonesian government plans to use crude palm oil (CPO) and other bio-mass fuel as an alternative energy source.

State Minister of Research and Technology Kusmayanto Kadiman said to overcome the recent fuel shortage, Indonesia would need cheap and renewable alternative energy in the future.

The minister said the government would issue regulations to support the production and use of alternative fuel.
At present, Indonesia is the second largest CPO producer in the world.
