The Projects will increase refinery capacity, improve product quality, and reduce
the cost of production of fuel oil which will boost foreign exchange and tax
revenues. This effort was carried out in the framework of realizing energy
independence and reducing the trade balance deficit or Current Account Deficit
(CAD), by significantly reducing imports of petroleum and petrochemical
products (Pertamina, 2021). Pertamina hopes that through this project, the
Government's target to stop fuel imports in 2026 can be fulfilled. A simple profile
of the Project can be seen below.

If these Projects are completed, the refinery's current
capacity of 1 million barrels per day will double to 2
million barrels per day. With the completion of the
RDMP/GRR, Pertamina hopes to achieve the
Government's target of stopping fuel imports by 2026.
We hope it would be the best way to design the energy
independence and sustainable in my country.
