Cilacap factory has an important meaning in maintaining national energy resistance. The second largest factory managed by PT Pertamina International (KPI) has a processing capacity of 348 thousand barrels per day. KPI is a subsidiary of PT Pertamina (Persero) that is secured to manage the entire oil and petrochemical plant belonging to Pertamina
The production of Cilacap’s factory is primarily aimed at meeting 60 percent of the needs of Fuel Oil (BBM) in Java Island and 34 percent of the needs of fuel in Indonesia.
Cilacap factory is one of the factories with the ability to produce high quality products. The generated BBM product includes Firstx, Firstx Turbo, Pertamina Dex to Pertamina Racing. In addition, Cilacap Factory is also a backbone in ensuring aircraft or avtur fuel swasembada in Indonesia.

To ensure the products of Cilacap Factory in accordance with the applicable standards, Cilacap Factory products have been through the examination test series in KPI-owned Laboratory. The laboratory is managed according to the tongue in Laboratory Quality Management System.
In order to ensure energy resistance by producing high quality fuel, Cilacap factory also continues to develop themselves by producing more environmentally friendly fuel.
This is in line with the government’s step to continue strengthening the commitment to Net Zero Emission (NZE) 2060. The effort is carried out through a clean energy transition focusing on the reduction of carbon or decarbonization intensity. KPI responds to the challenges by developing raw products from other sources, in addition to fossils.

Green Refinery in Cilacap factory, Central Java, has successfully processed green fuel with 3,000 barrel production capacity per day, from oil palm oil feedstock that has been purified and processed into 100 percent Green Diesel products, namely Pertamina Renewable Diesel (Pertamina RD). In addition to marketing in the country, Pertamina RD is also marketed export to European markets in 2022 as a gasoil blending.
Another green fuel product produced through Green Refinery Cilacap factory is Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) or Bioavtur 2.4%. This SAF product has been successfully used as fuel in the fly test of the aircraft of CN235 in 2022 and was also tested to premiere on commercial flights by using the Boeing 737-800 NG aircraft on September 2023.
Efforts to reduce carbon traces also continue to be done in the Cilacap plant area, by installing Solar Power Plant (PLTS) as an effort of energy transition program in the operating unit. Overall until the current PLTS installed in the Cilacap factory operation area reached 2.34 MWp, which is used to support the operation of Head Office (HO), employee housing, and Pertamina Cilacap Hospital.

KPI has aspiration that is in line with the government, namely reaching Net Zero Emission (NZE) lately 2060 years, achieved through the efforts of decarbonization and low-carbon business. The programs that have a direct impact on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) capaian will continue to be driven, because in line with the implementation of Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) throughout the business and operation of KPI.
