Indonesia supports fuel ethanol, but can't fund it

Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources says it would like to
implement fuel ethanol production incentives, but is unable to fund them.

MEMR recently released a new formula that could start the production of fuel
ethanol, but has no funds to support that production, it says, because of a
lack of feedstock supply and ethanol support. Indonesia hasn't produced fuel
ethanol since 2010 because of insufficient or inconsistent demand and price
fluctuation, according to MEMR.

MEMR says Indonesia expects to produce 205 million liters of nonfuel ethanol
from molasses in 2017 and 2018. Indonesia's 14 ethanol plants make products
for the medical and cosmetics industries, as well as exports. The country is
expected to export 10 million liters of nonfuel ethanol in 2018.
