Liquid Biofuel, Nationally Open and Not Blocked in Bali

This liquid biofuel activity covers biomass-based fuels and BBN trade across every scale, with a 100% national foreign-ownership ceiling and no Bali PMA block in this record.

The honest conclusion is narrow but useful: based only on this slim record, a foreign-owned company can treat this liquid biofuel activity as nationally open and not blocked in Bali.
What Changed

KBLI 2020→2025 mapping: code renumbered.

What You Need

Nationally, this activity is 100% open to foreign ownership. In Bali, the island-wide moratorium (in force since 13 May 2026) only halts PMA registrations for Low and Medium-Low risk lines — this KBLI's large-scale (Besar) risk class is higher, so it is not caught: PMA registration in Bali remains possible.

Who This Is For

Foreign entrepreneurs with biofuel processing expertise and access to biomass feedstock who are willing to incorporate outside Bali or wait for the moratorium to be lifted.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a liquid biofuel manufacturing business in Indonesia?
Yes. KBLI 20297 (Industri Biofuel Cair) is TERBUKA — open to 100% foreign ownership via PT PMA. No local Indonesian partner required. (Source: Perpres 10/2021 as amended by Perpres 49/2021 — the investment-list annexes predate KBLI 2025; per-code crosswalk audit in progress.)
What license is required for KBLI 20297?
KBLI 20297 has a Tinggi risk classification. Required license: NIB + Izin. Processing time: 10.
What is KBLI 20297?
KBLI 20297 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Industri Biofuel Cair" (Liquid Biofuel Manufacturing). It falls under Section C of KBLI 2025, the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification updated by BPS (Regulation 7/2025). The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed; operators should verify the code's current OSS/NIB treatment before relying on it for licensing, reporting, or amendments.
How did KBLI 20297 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 20297 was mapped from previous code 10392 (KBLI 2020). Auto-matched to 10392 (Industri Tahu Kedelai...) score=67% The code was renumbered but the business activity scope is essentially unchanged. The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed. If an NIB still relies on legacy KBLI 2020 mappings, treat the migration as overdue and verify/remediate the OSS record before new license applications, amendments, LKPM, import approvals, or investor/worker sponsorship.
