Keterangan Pers Kepala BRIN Arif Satria, Jakarta, 6 Agustus 2026

Of course, today is a very happy day for the BRIN presets because for the first time BRIN has the opportunity to have a dialogue with the President. We also showcase some of Brin's top innovations. And thank God, the President was very happy and thanked Brin for producing various innovative breakthroughs to solve various problems. One of the innovations that the President mentioned earlier and which he was very interested in was related to the issue of waste. Because Brain has provided various levels of ee technology to solve the waste problem, both at the household level through a very simple laksamor where organic waste can be resolved at the household level , then at the village ee level where there is ee pyrolysis technology whose results can produce fuel for the needs of fishermen as well as for farmers. This technology has been implemented at 80 points. Then there is also large-scale PS technology of 100 tons per day, there is also 50 tons per day and there are many variations of this waste technology. Because Mr. President is very [clears throat] ee interested in ee the importance of healthy cities, healthy villages, clean villages, clean cities because this is very important to support tourism. Hey all media colleagues. Then, the President also observed Brin's innovations in the energy sector, where Brin was asked to continue studying how to achieve energy sovereignty and energy independence. Because we cannot depend on foreigners. So, in facing global geopolitical dynamics, a nation's resilience is crucial, and we can only achieve this resilience through technological breakthroughs to increase independence. energy. One of the things that he was very interested in was how to utilize CNG. So, CNG as Indonesia's natural resource is very abundant. But on the same set we depend on LPG. So far, LPG imports have been very large. Well, Brin's findings are in collaboration with the Japanese Nobel Prize, the 2025 Nobel Prize with Metal Organic Framework. We can now produce an important breakthrough, namely how to produce ANG absorb eh eh natural gas from CNG with a pressure of 30 bar and then have a larger volume storage capacity . So, if people currently use LPG, for example, 3 kg of EE produces 10 days of EE, now with new technology it can be 15 days and a half. Well, now we are continuing to do research so that we can double it . If this is implemented, it can save 26 trillion ee per year related to this energy. Well, we continue to do this research. This is still a trial. Please pray that if we can develop this further, this will be an energy revolution in Indonesia. Then, the President also looked closely at roof tile technology. So, indeed, the President has given Brin several directions to conduct research to produce critical technology independently. Well, Brin has come up with environmentally friendly roof tile technology based on waste from palm oil, coconut waste, and coconut fiber. And that's so great because why? Light, environmentally friendly and now being tested in Nias. We collaborated with the Indonesian Army to conduct trials on the use of these roof tiles and we also have various types of earthquake-resistant houses that can be built in 14 days and ready for occupancy in 30 days . Well, so I think there are many other breakthroughs besides in the energy sector, also in the aviation sector. Earlier, he was also very interested in the N219 which has been developed by Brin with PTDI and now we are developing it for the Ambibi aircraft. Well, this research is ongoing and hopefully this can be completed soon and then after certification, EE can be developed in Indonesia to overcome the problem of inter-island connectivity. Because with the airplane, there is no need for investment in runways because we use water as a landing place and for the flight's lee. Well, then also returning to the energy issue, we were asked to examine what the implications are if we implement B60, what the implications are if we implement B100, and then what about E30, because Brazil has already reached E100. So, Brin was asked to study ee holistically in relation to this energy ee. And then, ee, lastly, ee, apart from the matter of resilience , Mr. President ee continues to encourage the presidents to remain patient, but also to work hard. Because to achieve Indonesia's position as the top 4 in the world in 2045 requires hard work and patience. because and he has proven that he conveyed yes now Brain has often been invited to meetings at the palace and then discussions with the President and today ee we the presidents were invited 150 people for further dialogue and to show this evidence that the President has a big commitment to strengthening technology because he always said that mastery of technology is a matter of national dignity. Thank you. The question was about seeking this funding from the same restrictions, but in the interview, he did not give an explicit statement [clears throat] regarding research funding, but he did say that there would be an additional 4 trillion in research funds. And currently, the Minister of Education, Technology, and Higher Education, STECH, and BRIN are preparing a proposal, and the proportions are being arranged, and so we have now submitted the proposal for an additional IDR trillion in research funds to produce ee. One more thing was mentioned earlier. The President is also very interested in these shoes. Hey, these are rubber shoes, the price is very cheap, the price is less than Rp. 75,000. There are even cheaper shoes , they cost Rp. 47,000, where are you, Mr. Waka? Oh, so the one the Deputy Chief was wearing earlier cost Rp. 47,000. That's from palm oil waste, it's even cheaper. So, the President has said that this shoe industry is a people's industry that must also be developed. Lastly, ladies and gentlemen, for [clears throat] eh, I think that in terms of food, energy, and water, it is time for us to be self-sufficient, to have resilience and good resistance. Because once we have finished the food, energy, and water issues, it means we have passed the stage of being a developing country. with the C technology, the tube is ready, sir. Well, right now it's like this, sir. The tube uses composite. Well, now ee from the technical side is being tested for ee hore ya. We will see how the use of new technology with a metal organic framework that can absorb large amounts of gas, larger volumes using CNG. Well, now we are reviewing the ee side of the tube, this composite uses a different composite from the current metal tube. Technology or yes. So regarding nuclear, nuclear is not only for energy. This nuclear includes for food, nuclear for health. So, as I mentioned earlier, there are radiopharmaceuticals that have been developed and this will be very important for identifying cancer and for treating cancer. Therefore, we must encourage nuclear energy for food and health. This includes how to control food with nuclear power. If we export fruit, some countries require irradiation for what? So that the fruit ingredients are more durable. And now we have developed that facility at the Friday market, yes, at Brain, there is also one in Sorpong which is very important for improving the quality of our export products. Sir, sir, this is a mapper and I'm also trying C, sir, to replace LP, sir. I might have met Mr. Bahlil earlier, was there any discussion that perhaps Mr. AN from Brin would be applied too? As far as I know, so far, ee SDM has been importing cylinders from China, right, sir? Is it possible to reflect that, sir? This is precisely what we discussed earlier with the Minister of ASDM and also the President. But the President really advised that if possible, the implementation of the use of English could be accelerated. But the second thing that is even more important is having a larger gas reserve . For the same size it has a larger storage capacity. So, as I said earlier, if people usually use a 3 kilo tube for 10 days, then by using ENNG owned by Brain, it can last for 15 days. That's really great efficiency, right? Sir, yes sir . Earlier there were three of us, Mr. President, me and Mr. Balil. Mr. Balil also said that. Well, now we will follow up with Mr. Balil regarding the implementation framework and what the harmonization will be like. But what is clear is that we are currently testing it this week in 2026, hopefully we can release it in 2027. Sorry, this is an example of a 47,000 shoe from Brint technology. Well, Mr. Waka. Okay, enough. Okay, thank you very much. Thanks. Is that about the satellite in Lampung ? Regarding the Lampung satellite that was just launched yesterday, there are concerns about data leaks because it is a Chinese company. So, does the local government have access to the data ? Then there was a response from you, yes, indeed the Lampung government and also various authorities in Indonesia have coordinated with Brin. Brin was among those involved in the process. And that's also what was discussed yesterday, what's the name of the discussion about data security and so on. But what is clear is that everything is related to data storage and so on, for Indonesia, Brin will have the authority. God willing, it's safe, hopefully it's safe, God willing. Well, but what's more important, God willing, we will also launch the Brin satellite, Brin Neo 1, which is Brin's own production, the factory is in Bogor. We will be launching it in early 202 , sir. Excuse me, sir. Regarding Elino, which is predicted to continue for a fairly long period of time, there are innovations or research that you, Sir, have already submitted to the President to reduce the impact of Elino for a longer period, Sir. Thank you sir. Yes, last week I was invited by the President to convey what technologies Brin has to deal with El Nino. In principle, this year's El Niño will last relatively the same length, but it will be hotter and drier. So, the President has tasked BRIN with completing weather modification technology. Well, this weather modification we have NaCl Dumikron ee technology yes 2 to 5 microns. This means that the technology, ee, what is it called, can create efficiency for weather modification. Then also with flir. Then the third one with a drone. Then, secondly, the President was also very pleased with Brain's breakthrough in marine desalination technology, which has now been implemented in 40 coastal areas. Then the second is arsinum. So arsinum is flood water, waste water, and spring water that can be turned into drinking water. Earlier, the President also tried drinking the water directly , Minister Bahlil also drank it, the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries also drank it, and we have proven this at various disaster locations. Then thirdly, the President also assigned Brin to look at the potential of underground rivers. So last Sunday I went to Kebumen to see the underground water source in Goa Barat which has been used by the local people. However, there are things that BRIN must resolve . One, tracking the flow of the underground river which has not yet been detected accurately. Then the second is how to process groundwater which often contains eco-friendly substances. Why ecoli? Because underground in caves there are lots of bats. So, with the high eco-content, BR was asked to process the water better. Well, we will now create a living laboratory in Kebumen so that we can make the underground water cleaner, safer, and also more hygienic. And then we are also identifying in Gunung Kidul and in various places and that is part of the place, yes, Mr. President is also concerned about the groundwater that then comes out into the sea. Well, now we are reviewing tracking in various regions because it already exists in Lombok, it also exists in Mount Gedo. And now what is the localized society? How can we support the technological aspect? Yes, that's enough. Okay, thanks. Thanks.
