TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: The state-owned oil company PT Pertamina (Persero) launched the world’s biggest liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) station in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta. The station has a capacity of 1,000 metric tons per day.

“Improvement of LPG distribution is our focus,” said Pertamina's Director Karen Agustiawan, Friday (20/3) in Jakarta.

She explained that better infrastructure is needed as the potential market increases due to the conversion program from kerosene to LPG. “The national consumption of LPG was only 3,700 metric tons per day last year. Now it is 6,030 metric tons per day,” she said.

Karen expected that the station reduce the problem of people lining up for LPG.
