Indonesian rail company starts using B30

In Indonesia, the CNN Indonesia reports that the state-owned railway Kereta Api Indonesia has started to run on B30.

“Trains are a sustainable mode of transportation. In this era that prioritizes ESG, trains will be the main driver for environment-based transportation,” said VP of Corporate Secretary KAI Raden Agus Dwinanto Budiadji He even said that at several points in Sumatra KAI was already using Biosolar B35, which means the level of environmental friendliness is higher.
Agus said that one of the advantages of trains is their very large capacity. One carriage can carry 50 tons of goods or the size of 2 container trucks.
In fact, he said, one series of trains transporting coal in southern Sumatra can pull 60 carriages or 3,000 tons at once.
If transported by truck, it would require approximately 120 trucks. This is certainly more environmentally friendly because it uses lower fuel and minimal pollution.
