Change BBM to CNG, GasKu goes through SPBG, this is how to install the converter kit

JAKARTA, RADARKAUR.CO.ID – Faced with soaring conventional fuel prices, the government has come up with a new solution. That is to say, change BBM to CNG or Gas Fuel (BBG), which is currently a hot topic of conversation.

Why methane with the official GasKu brand is sold at super cheap prices.

The current price of natural gas is IDR 3,100 per litre. Although it is planned to increase to IDR 4,100 per lsp, it is still cheaper than the price of Pertalite.

Methane with the GasKu brand is present through SPBG (Gas Refueling Stations). Although only present in some areas of Indonesia. However, the number is expected to continue to grow.

Furthermore, Pertamina continues to carry out a series of tests and claims that once filled with full CNG tanks, the bikes can travel 100km.

The emergence of methane is considered a replacement fuel for BBM equivalent to Pertamax Turbo 98.

So, in particular, the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia issued a press release regarding the process of transferring BBM vehicles to BBG by installing a Converter Kit.

The Converter Kit is a distribution component for CNG or Compressed Natural Gas that comes from methane gas compressed at high pressure. So that CNG can compete with BBM as a vehicle fuel.

Indeed methane, in this case the installation of the Converter Kit, has been introduced by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources since 2012, but is not yet well known to the public. In general, methane is widely used by residents living in natural gas producing areas.

The selling price of methane is estimated only by Rp. 3000 per liter with quality equal to the subsidized fuel. Furthermore, a usability test was carried out with the use of natural gas on cars, motorcycles and traditional fishing boats.
