The government of Indonesia through vision energy 25/25 saves energy by saving fossil fuels. One sector that consume the largest fossil fuel is transportation. Through the vision, this sector has a great opportunity to make savings by converting fossil fuels into biofuels as stipulated in the mandatory B20 policy. The success of the implementation of the policies depends on providing socialization to the public. Therefore, the objective of this study is to collect the information about the level of knowledge of the community in receiving information about the use of biofuels in the transportation sector. This is a quantitative study using a questionnaire in data collection, finding that people’s understanding of biofuels, including the perception and information of biofuels, still needs to be improved. The results of the study can be used to assist in the planning, implementation and evaluation of policies made by the government in the use of biofuels in the transportation sector in Indonesia. The implications of this study are as a material consideration for increasing the dissemination of information to the public about biofuels, so that the use of biofuels can increase.
