Abstract

Transitioning the use of fossil fuels to biofuels such as biodiesel is one solution for the country to ensure energy security, environmental quality, security and poverty alleviation. Indonesia is one of the countries that is trying to implement the use of biodiesel with the support of adequate natural resources and biofuel producing industries. The transportation sector, especially ships, is one of the largest markets for biodiesel consumers. The sustainability of biodiesel use is very dependent on government policies and industry. In using biodiesel, especially on ships, there are several obstacles. One of them is damage to machinery components which has an impact on reducing ship performance. This research examines the strategies used by the shipping industry to overcome the impact of biodiesel use on ships, then several recommendations are also given to the government to support the commercial use of biodiesel. From the research conducted, it was concluded that the addition of a fuel filter makes the quality of biodiesel cleaner and clearer and minimizes damage to engine components. Furthermore, it is necessary to increase research in the field of biodiesel production technology, for example non-catalytic processes to commercially produce biodiesel with good quality and competitive prices with fossil fuels.
