- 100 kWe pilot. The project was stopped last year (2006) because problems from the tar could not be solved completely. Tar gives a negative effect to the environment and diesel engine as well.(Contact information, website link for full information.)PT. Indonesia Power, Jl.Gatot Subroto, Jakarta Selatan Indonesia.
