Abstract: Indonesian government publish a regulation regarding fuel control in power plant, PERMEN No.12/2012 subsection 2 point B. Power plant in Indonesia must be modify production technology and optimize production system to achieve optimum fuel consumption. Based on these regulation, operation process in ignition system must be modified. The current research aims to build better operation process through optimization in fuel control to obtain optimum fuel consumption and reduce CO2 emission. This research shows that PT PJB Gresik power plant support Indonesian regulation and care about decreasing CO2 emission. The ignitor burner modification has been successfully implemented and provide financial benefits of Rp 508,388,400 per year and reduction of NO2 emissions by 0.0327 tons, SO2 emissions by 0.0014 tons, particulate emissions by 0.0019 tons and CO2 eq emissions by 28.39 tons in 2018
