Bioenergy is a renewable energy that is still growing in Indonesia. As is well known, fossil energy seems to have not been detected again due to exploitation activities that exceed the limit, therefore we must use it wisely.

This is because fossil fuels are non-renewable energy. Lately, most of the needs of households, vehicles, and general necessities are utilizing fossil energy. So how does bioenergy work?

Reporting from the Solarindustr.com page, in fact, fossil energy is produced because of a natural process in the form of organism degradation that occurred millions of years ago. Therefore, there is an opportunity to run out of energy when new fossil sources cannot be replaced quickly.

There are various types of fossil energy, for example petroleum, coal, and natural gas. Currently, bioenergy continues to be developed in order to become potential energy to overcome all problems arising from the use of fossil energy.

literally, the word 'bioenergy' consists of two words, namely bio and energy. Bio means living things, energy is something that is used for human survival. Thus, bioenergy is renewable energy that comes from biological sources and has value for human life. So, why is this energy classified as renewable energy?

This source comes from organic or biological substances which are certainly easy to obtain and have various variations. This energy can be used as an alternative energy that is environmentally friendly for fuel and electricity sources.

The bioenergy that comes from biodiversity is biomass. Indonesia is an archipelagic country that has fertile land and abundant biodiversity. This abundant biological material opens up opportunities to convert and utilize alternative energy sources that are more environmentally friendly than fossil energy.

Biomass energy offers a variety of methods to use its potential, with each process offering different advantages and applications. Below are the main methods for producing biomass energy or bioenergy workings:

Each of these biomass energy generation processes provides a unique opportunity for sustainable energy production and plays an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Indonesia itself has begun to realize the benefits of energy resilience development by establishing a bioenergy industry. Below are examples of bioenergy industries in Indonesia, including:

The Company is limited to establishing cooperative relations with the government and other parties in efforts to develop and use Nabati Fuel in Indonesia, especially in biodiesel and bioethanol production. This limited company is spread throughout Indonesia and is ready to create superior, empowered energy for future renewable energy supplies.
