The Probowangi Toll Road is constructed to create better access between Probolinggo and Banyuwangi, which are now only connected by provincial roads. This toll road is expected to reduce traffic congestion on provincial roads, cut logistics costs, and improve economic competitiveness of Probolinggo, Banyuwangi, and surrounding areas. Travel time is projected to decrease by 30% to 50%, leading to more efficient fuel consumption. Overall, the toll road is expected to lower logistics costs by 10% to 20%.

WIKA has implemented the latest technology in this project, including Building Information Modelling (BIM) to enhance planning and design efficiency. Additionally, WIKA utilises geotechnical technology, employing 3D mapping and drones for more accurate land surveys. The Company also collaborates with local governments and communities to support regional economic growth by employing local workers and subcontractors.

As part of its strong commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), the Company also considers social and environmental impacts during the construction process. WIKA built village facilities, planted trees, and managed flood prevention works in areas around the construction site under its Program Tanggung Jawab Sosial (TJSL) or Corporate Social Responsibility Programme.

WIKA remains committed to provide high-quality infrastructure to reduce logistics costs and improve interregional connectivity in Indonesia. As a leading EPCC company, WIKA is dedicated to offer innovative, environmentally friendly solutions with positive social impact.

“Probowangi Toll Road project is one of our commitments to supporting the government’s Asta Cita mission. This infrastructure development enhances logistics efficiency, strengthens interregional connectivity, and supports the national economy. WIKA is confident in its ability to make a positive contribution to Indonesia’s economic growth and facilitate sustainable and efficient transportation,” said Agung Budi Waskito (BW), WIKA’s President Director.

WEGE & DEX Launch Netro: Indonesia’s Groundbreaking Net-Zero Smart Modular Home Concept

PT Wijaya Karya Bangunan Gedung Tbk (WEGE) a subsidiary of PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk (WIKA), in collaboration with PT Dex Solusi Transit (DEX) presents Netro, Indonesia’s first innovative smart modular home with Smart Net-Zero and Growing-modular concept. The Netro launch was part of WIKA’s 65th anniversary ceremony. The launch ceremony was held on the 17th floor of WIKA Tower 2, marked by screening of Netro’s video profile on Tuesday (11/03).

Prototypes of Netro version 1.0 model homes are displayed on WIKA Realty’s plot located in Pulo Mas Jaya. The model homes are featured in various floor sizes: the smallest at 33m2, followed by type 49m2, 93m2, and the largest at 129m2. These prototypes demonstrate WEGE and DEX’s commitment to provide a smart, industrial-based green housing model.

Netro is designed to meet demand for sustainable housing that operates efficiently, conserves energy, and reduces carbon emissions using its intelligent smart system. It meets the Greenship Net-Zero rating requirements set by the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI).

Netro is a modular home system that allows systematic expansion, which allows wider market reach and enhances affordability. It also provides homeowners with flexible housing options that align with improvements in living standards, enabling them to expand their living space as needed. With its qualities, Netro raises awareness on the importance of sustainable development by introducing smart modular homes.

WIKA’s President Director Agung BW stated during the launch event that “Netro was created based on awareness of climate change and is aligned with WEGE’s commitment to developing modular homes as a building construction method since 2018. In spite of that, DEX introduces a smart “breathing home” concept by maximizing natural air circulation demanded by Net-Zero principles. The smart home also features IoT (Internet of Things) that automates cost-effective data collection for certification processes. This collaboration produces smart homes that are not only sustainable, but also educates their occupants on energy efficiency through integrated technology.”

The primary features of Netro include passive cooling, natural ventilation, solar panels, water recycling and energy monitoring systems, thermal comfort, and minimum air quality standards – all of which are integrated in the GBCI Greenship Net-zero app. The system allows occupants and GBCI to digitally monitor energy consumption and renewable energy production, which significantly reduces emissions and meets the requirements for Greenship Net-Zero certification.

In line with Agung BW, President Director of WEGE Hadian Pramudita said, “This launch offers a solution in response to demand for housing, not only in urban areas but also in coastal and rural regions. With the support of WEGE and DEX’s construction technology, along with WIKA Realty as the first developer to build Netro in its real estate projects, we are confident that we can meet market needs with the highest quality. This will help promote massive energy efficiency and raise awareness of a sustainable Net-Zero lifestyle.”

As a pioneer in sustainable development, WEGE is committed to providing innovative homes that focus on energy efficiency and improve people’s quality of life. Netro serves to meet the needs of society across all segments, including developers and real estate companies (B2B), by providing homes that are quick and easy to build, structurally robust, cost-effective in operational expenses, and in line with sustainable principles.

“The fulfilment of Greenship Net-Zero criteria in Netro Products provides a solid and objective basis to meet Green Finance requirements set by banks. We anticipate a major shift in the banking industry towards Green Finance, including KPR Hijau, Green Loan, and similar financial products,” said Iwan Prajitno, President Director of DEX.

Products such as Netro are a compelling solution to smart, high-quality, and sustainable homes to help with Indonesia’s housing backlog. We believe that every citizen is entitled to at least one modest, high-quality home.

Netro’s Outstanding Features as an Eco-Friendly Home

Netro is an eco-friendly home, equipped with exceptional features designed to reduce energy consumption and achieve Net-Zero. It achieves natural thermal comfort, and its modular system allows faster construction times. The key benefits in favour of Netro House as an ideal choice for future housing are as follows:

1. Growth Enable Modular System – Expandable Modular Homes

Netro is an industrial-based housing system. This ensures that the product and its components are tried, tested, and meets all required standards. As most of the production processes are done in factories, procurement and construction on-site is significantly faster than conventional construction methods. Netro’s on-site installation process is quick and generates minimum waste, significantly reducing its environmental footprint. Netro is designed to enable expansion without major interruption to its occupants’ daily activities – thanks to systematic design and clear identification of additional required components.

Unleashing the Power of Graphene

G® Lubricant, a graphene liquid concentrate that can be added to any mineral or synthetic oil used in an internal combustion engine, has been shown to increase fuel efficiency by up to 8.4% in a diesel engine. The amount of graphene in the final lubricant once G® Lubricant is mixed in is only ~ 1:10,000, with the balance of the concentrate consisting of lubricating base oil. As a result, G® Lubricant can be used safely in any internal combustion engine. Over the past four years, GMG has conducted environmentally controlled testing of G® Lubricant in internal combustion engines monitored and verified by The University of Queensland. GMG’s test results have been corroborated by similar savings realized by customers over a number of years of field testing.

Figure 1 below shows the high level fuel efficiency improvement provided by the G® Lubricant additive, while Figure 8 provides the detailed fuel testing parameters.

The data shows a clear increase in fuel efficiency performance from G® Lubricant when the load is increased on the engine. High loads for truck diesel engines are usually seen when the truck starts to move, and then at high speeds when encountering wind resistance. Usually stationary diesel engines for power generation operate at high load.

Figure 2 shows the potential savings for the main types of diesel engine commercial vehicles in use in Australia – with average vehicle data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics[1] (ABS).

Exceptional Performance Confirmed by University of Queensland

GMG’s Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: “G® Lubricant has taken over 4 years of advanced product testing and is transformational for energy efficiency and emissions reduction for the liquid fuels industry – it is the culmination of decades of lubricants, engines, energy markets and graphene knowledge which is inherent in the GMG business. The next challenge to commercialise this product awaits – which we are eagerly preparing for.”

GMG’s Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: “G® Lubricant’s performance, which demonstrates an 8.4% improvement in fuel efficiency using only a very small amount of graphene in an easy to use graphene concentrate, is a ‘Category Creator’ that has the potential to redefine the multi trillion dollar liquid fuels market. The fact that only 1% of G® Lubricant is needed to achieve such savings provides a very attractive value proposition for fleet owners.”

US$ 1.4 Trillion Global Diesel Industry

Whilst G® Lubricant can be used to reduce fuel consumption in both diesel and gasoline/petrol engines GMG intends to focus on the diesel market initially, which is largely B2B focused, and therefore, more targeted as far as fuel cost savings and performance. GMG calculates that global diesel fuel sales totalled US$1.4 Trillion per annum[2] including taxes and duties on approximately 28 million barrels of diesel per day as detailed by the EIA2. Figure 3 shows the top 34 countries in the world with diesel fuel sales greater than US$10 Billion per annum.

Estimated US$ 1.2 Billion Per Annum Global Diesel Market For G® Lubricant

Assuming an average fuel savings of 8.4%, GMG believes that a conservative estimate of the potential market for G® Lubricant is 10% of the fuel savings realized by users annually. Assuming G® Lubricant pricing equal to 10% of the savings realized, GMG estimates that the potential global revenue for G® Lubricant is US$ 1.2 Billion sales per annum.

  • A 30kVA (24 kW) Cummins diesel engine generator (with 14,784 hours of run time) as seen in Figure 5 and described in Figure 6 was purchased and setup in the GMG Richlands warehouse.
  • The generator was connected to a 40 kW power load bank which consumed the energy produced by the generator and created the load and a 500 litre self-contained fuel tank.
  • Two calibrated flow sensors were connected (inflow and return/outflow) to the fuel lines and to a data logger which recorded the fuel consumption.
  • An Energy Analyzer was used to log and track energy produced by the generator.
  • Tests were conducted on loads of 40%, 60% and 80% loads of the 40 kW power load bank – 12, 18, 24 kw respectively.
  • A baseline to record diesel fuel consumption under normal engine oil and operating conditions was completed with newly changed recommended premium diesel engine oil and a new oil filter. This oil change was carried out by a professional engine maintenance service company.
  • The engine was run at the different loads (40%, 60% and 80%) and the baseline and G® Lubricant data set used for the analytics is when the maximum ambient temperature for the day was less than 33 degrees Celsius and relative humidity was between 50% and 80% with no rain. Fuel consumption for diesel engines changes when operating in rain or very high humidity or temperatures, so the fuel consumption data baseline and G® Lubricant engine oil additive performance testing were excluded for these times.
  • Only steady state data was used and so any variance or anomalous data seen in either baseline or G® Lubricant datasets were removed from the analytics. Data sets were grouped into minute blocks.
  • Once the baseline fuel tests were completed, the engine oil was drained and the oil filters were replaced. G-Lubricant with approximately 1:100 concentration was mixed at approximately 1% ratio by weight with a new batch of the same premium recommended engine oil and added to the generator engine. The end ratio of GMG’s Graphene to the diesel engine oil was approximately 1:10,000 by weight. The oil change was carried out by the same professional engine maintenance service company.

G® Lubricant Packaging

G® Lubricant is currently sold by GMG in different small pack sizes, a 500 ml pack is shown in Figure 5 which can be diluted into 50 litres of engine oil to provide improved engine performance. GMG intends to direct market the product to its targeted markets through various pack sizes for direct and bulk use.

Figure 8: Detailed Diesel Engine Generator Performance Data.

Basis for Performance Improvement

As seen in Figure 9, G® Lubricant GMG improves fuel efficiency by creating less friction in the boundary layer lubrication of the pistons inside the cylinder block of the engine. It is widely accepted that approximately 30% of the fuel is used in an engine to overcome internal friction, and that approximately 60% of the engine friction is in the piston area. Graphene has also been seen to prevent wear and also fill in wear scars of an engine, helping to improve piston sealing.
