During this visit, the Muhammadiyah Central Java Regional Leadership MSME Development Institute and PT Kaltim Bumi Energi Etam presented their plans for the future, which include the conversion of used cooking oil into biodiesel and the establishment of a strong and independent Indonesia that fulfills its commitment to a green economy. Consequently, the purpose of this visit was to forge a partnership between the Muhammadiyah Central Java Regional Leadership MSME Development Institute and PT Kaltim Bumi Energi Etam, which has successfully produced biodiesel through an existing biodiesel micro plant, and TRKI Undip. The B50 formula has been used to test biodiesel products from miniplant biodiesel, and the results have been satisfactory. Consequently, there is tremendous optimism that this biodiesel product will be extensively used. Endy Julianto, S.T., M.T., the Head of the TRKI Study Program, expressed his enthusiasm for this exceptional collaboration and expressed his willingness to continue the development of biodiesel at higher levels, from B60 to B100. Furthermore, TRKI Undip gave a presentation on bioavtur research, which was chaired by Anggun Puspitarini Siswanto, S.T., Ph.D. The research on bioavtur itself is inextricably linked to biodiesel, an intermediate product that can be utilized as a basic material for bioavtur.
