This innovation is considered a breakthrough in helping to increase the reserves of oil fuel which has long relied heavily on petroleum. Biodiesel is a fuel made from a mixture of diesel oil and palm oil.

"The most popular thing is in the energy sector, currently there is also appreciation for the government on how the government has a biodiesel program. This is one of the very good breakthroughs, because it is undeniable that our petroleum reserves have been depleted, what will we use in the future? So this biodiesel breakthrough is one of the programs that supports the sustainability of the palm oil industry."
