Jember - Indonesia, 7 April 2017

Dear Professor Matsumura in Hiroshima, Japan

Introduce me, my name is Fathan Edi Purwanto, origin

student of Agricultural Engineering Department, Faculty of
Agriculture, University of Jember, East Java, Indonesia.
I am currently in the 6th semester, and select interests
laboratory of tools and farm machinery. This current will carry out
research on the characteristics of bioethanol made from
seaweed. I am interested in doing research on bioethanol from
seaweed because Indonesia has various types and species of
seaweed, which is still widely used as a food, not a renewable
energy source.
In addition, the length of coastline in Indonesia, which
reached 81,000 kilometers also has an excellent potential for the
cultivation of seaweeds marine, which can then be used as a
renewable energy source of this type of ethanol. Due to the
limitations of tools and technology research on seaweed in
Indonesia, so that the potential of seaweed difficult to develop in
Indonesia.
Therefore, I wanted to get guidance from the professor
that I want to take this research can run smoothly and have good
results, and be able to applicate well to be a source of renewable
fuel energy
Thank you professor, with all my respect, I am waiting your reply
about this regard.

Best regards,
