PT Pertamina Patra Niaga said that sales of Pertamax Green 95 fuel in Semarang City, Central Java, reached an average of 4,000 liters per day.
"Almost a month after Pertamax Green 95 was launched, we have received extraordinary public enthusiasm," said Area Manager of Communication and Relations for Pertamina Patra Niaga, Central Java Region (JBT) Taufiq Kurniawan in Semarang, Wednesday.
Pertamax Green 95 is a fuel produced by Pertamina which is a mixture of Pertamax (RON 92) with 5 percent bioethanol (E5) which produces an octane value of RON 95 and is claimed to be more environmentally friendly due to the bioethanol content derived from plants.
He said that total sales of Pertamax Green 95 since its launch until now in Semarang City have reached 76,000 liters with an average daily consumption of 4,000 liters.
"This is good, the enthusiasm shows that the people of Semarang already care, are 'aware' (of the environment). Because it's the first, previously there was bio but in Solar. Most users (of Pertamax) are private vehicles. The 'awareness' is depicted quite well," he said.
According to him, the highest sales of Pertamax Green 95 are currently at the Coco Sultan Agung Semarang (Akpol) gas station, which is the launch location for the fuel.
Pertamax Green 95 is also available at two other locations, namely gas station 44.501.44 Jalan Moch. Ichsan (Silayur) and gas station 44.502.32 Jalan Kompol R. Soekanto Semarang (Citra Grand).
"The highest sales are at the Coco Akpol gas station because that was the launch location on June 5, 2025. Many people know about it there, even though Pertamax Green 95 is also available at the Citragrand and Silayur gas stations in Semarang," he said.
From the user side, he said, so far in the Semarang area it is still balanced between motorbikes and cars, or neither dominates the other.
Along with the high public interest in Pertamax Green 95, he said, Pertamina plans to expand sales of the fuel in other areas, such as Tegal, Solo or Yogyakarta.
