A new type of fuel developed in Bogor has been introduced. After a decade of extensive research, this environmentally friendly alternative fuel is claimed to have a Research Octane Number (RON) close to 98. The product is named Bobibos, an acronym for Bahan Bakar Original Buatan Indonesia (Original Fuel Made in Indonesia). There are two types of Bobibos: a gasoline-powered and a diesel-powered type. The founder of Bobibos, Ikhlas Thamrin, stated that this innovation originated from his concern over Indonesia’s high dependence on imported energy. He aims to prove that the nation can stand on its own feet through science and independent research.
