Perintah Presiden Joko Widodo agar harga gas industri bisa diturunkan belum bisa diaplikasikan untuk sepuluh jenis industri. Sejumlah kementerian masih membahas cara merealisasikan harga gas maksimal USD 6 per mmbtu. Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar menyatakan, negara sudah merelakan bagiannya untuk menurunkan harga gas. Industri yang mendapat insentif harus memberikan kontribusi kepada perekonomian negara. Ketiga industri yang dipastikan menikmati harga gas murah adalah pupuk, petrokimia, dan baja.
Industri lain yang insentifnya sedang digodok adalah keramik, kaca, oleochemical, sarung tangan karet, pulp dan kertas, makanan dan minuman, tekstil dan alas kaki, serta farmasi. Arcandra mengungkapkan, industri yang mendapatkan harga gas murah harus memberikan efek ekonomi yang besar. Misalnya, kontribusi pajak, pertumbuhan ekonomi, dan penciptaan lapangan kerja.
Jika keinginan Kementerian ESDM seperti itu, wajar jika industri-pupuk, petrokimia, dan baja diprioritaskan. Sebab, ketiga indutri membutuhkan gas sebagai bahan baku lebih dari 50 persen. Bahkan, kebutuhan gas industri pupuk dikabarkan mencapai 70 persen. Contoh klasiknya, murahnya harga pupuk berdampak pada peningkatan ketahanan pangan. Anggota Dewan Energi Nasional (DEN) Abadi Poernomo menambahkan, harga gas murah memang diberikan kepada industri tertentu.
Terutama yang lapar gas sebagai bahan baku produksi. Usul, Kementerian Perindustrian juga menyebut bahwa gas murah ditujukan bagi industri yang menjadikan gas sebagai bahan bakar. DEN mendukung penurunan harga gas. Namun, perencanaan penurunan itu diminta tetap meninjau hal pokok seperti transparansi dari hulu ke hilir dan mata rantai.
