    Analysis of MDS (multi dimensional scaling) is performed to determine the level of sustainability of Biodiesel as Biofuel Utilization in Jakarta and its surrounding area. Sustainability assessment based on scoring by the experts for each attribute in each dimension of sustainability assessment. Dimensions of sustainability are considered consists of the environmental dimension, the economic, social, technological, and policy. The results showed that the five dimensions of sustainability, only environmental and technological dimensions beyond the sustainability index. While the other three dimensions, namely social, economic, and policy do not meet the sustainability index. So that the overall average value of the sustainability of Biodiesel as Biosolar (mixing between automotive diesel engine and biodiesel or FAME) utilization in such area also has not met the required sustainability index. However the counter measures can be applied to leverage these problems is to increase socialization and education, simultaneously the technical regulations that could encourage greater variety of sensitive attributes in each dimension, and make the application of policy incentives and disincentives to support it. The first priority step can be started from the improvement in the social dimension attributes through efforts to raise public awareness of the use of Biodiesel as biofuel. This will indirectly encourage the improvement that will attribute the economic dimension with the increasing value-added agro-industry products. In order to facilitate the operation, the necessary attributes is the improvements in policy dimension, especially at the local level policy. All these efforts can be maximized by encouraging better sensitive attributes, such as environmental and technology attributes. Means Improvement is to increase the utilization ratio of biodiesel in biosolar and increasing the availability of human resources in supporting using Biodiesel as biofuel. The entire steps were expected to raise the level of sustainability of Biodiesel utilization in Jakarta as a whole.
