TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Environmental and Forestry Ministry has called on the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry to issue a regulation on Euro 4 fuel specifications.
"We have called for a special ministerial regulation on the fuel specifications," Karliansyah, director general of pollution and environmental damage at the Environmental and Forestry Ministry said on Monday, April 3, 2017.
Karliansyah added that the regulation will serve as a follow-up to the issuance of the Environmental and Forestry Ministry regulation No. 20/2017 on emission standards for new types of vehicles. The regulation requires car manufacturers to implement Euro 4 emission standards.
Although a bill on the implementation has been issued, the standards cannot be implemented directly because manufacturers and the government needed time to prepare the technology and the fuel supply.
Karliansyah explained that imports could be a feasible option to be taken by state oil and gas company Pertamina to meet demands on Euro 4 fuel.
"There is an option to import [Euro 4 fuel], and it is possible that the option will be executed," Karliansyah said.
