InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – To deliver clear information about palm oil cultivation in Indonesia to many countries in Europe, many stakeholders in Indonesian Palm Oil Association (IPOA) planned to join Hannover Messe 2023 industrial technology exhibition.
Actually, the stakeholders’ participation in Hannover Messe ran since 2021. In 2023 it is hoped, as Foreign Relation Compartment IPOA, Lolita Bangun said, by joining the exhibition palm oil stakeholders could be closer with European people and get direct input about palm oil products that many countries reject.
“To get the new mindset because for all these years the mindset created was negative,” Lolita said in Dialog FMB9 with the theme "Industri Masa Depan Berwawasan Lingkungan Hannover Messe 2023" in Jakarta, Monday, (27/3/2023).
It is planned that IPOA and some other palm oil associations would join the exhibition to promote sustainable practices in Indonesia. Lolita also told besides promotion, palm oil industries would show up everything that the stakeholders do about international standards and advantage waste to encourage clean energy.
On the other hand, palm oil industries (the stakeholders) hope that there would be German investors to do research from the upstream to downstream sectors.
“We also invite cooperation in technology research from upstream to downstream sector in the form of investment. This would multiply employment from the sectors,” she said, as InfoSAWIT quoted from Antara.
Lolita also explained IPOA would show up methane capture technology in the exhibition. Methane of palm oil mill effluent (POME) or the waste from crude palm oil (CPO) production, would be captured and processed to be biogas. IPOA and Asosiasi Produsen Oleochemical Indonesia (Apolin) would show up that palm oil can be sustainably processed.
Asosiasi Produsen Biofuel Indonesia (Aprobi) would show up that Indonesia is the one country that implements diesel mixture to biodiesel up to 35% or B35 in the world. Masyarakat Perkelapasawitan Indonesia (Maksi) would show up economic scheme by advantaging empty bunches as biofertilizer. (T2)
