The world will have difficulty in obtaining fuel for the next ten years . High world oil demand makes the world oil producers constantly exploring sources of new reserves of oil wells . Meanwhile the old oil wells abandoned, so as to create new problems that damage the environment . The decreasing supply of energy derived from petroleum can lead to problems in countries that do not have their own oil wells.

Indonesia, which was known to have oil reserves are abundant enough now beginning to experience a shortage in production . Crude oil imports from the Middle East began to cover the supply of fuel in the country . This dilemma is compounded by the problem of fuel smuggling by parties who are not responsible .

Palm Oil as an Alternative Energy

Indonesia and Malaysia are the two countries with the largest oil palm plantations with relatively abundant production . The first position is occupied by Malaysia in CPO production world , and the next position is Indonesia . Crude Palm Oil ( CPO ) is the direct product of palm oil that has not been processed into derived products . Derivative products can be in the form of cooking oil and butter . Since the booming biodiesel , CPO is now predicted to be able to replace diesel fuel derived from petroleum . Forward with abundant oil production can be ascertained energy crisis may soon be over . It seems business in the field of oil palm plantations have bright prospects given the vast empty land in the territory of Indonesia .

World should encourage countries to become suppliers CPO agrarian world that 's fuel crisis can be addressed immediately while taking care of our planet stay green . We are optimistic that by encouraging the use of biofuels made ​​from palm oil can reduce CO emissions which ultimately can reduce the greenhouse effect that could potentially raise the temperature of the earth is getting hotter .
