Indonesia Advances to B40 Biodiesel with 40% Palm Oil Blend
After some delays at the beginning of the year, Indonesia anticipates that its B40 biodiesel program will be fully implemented next month, according to Eniya Listiani Dewi, an official in the energy ministry.
As of Friday, the amount of palm oil-based biodiesel distributed this year was around 1.2 million kiloliters, Eniya Listiani Dewi said.
The percentage of biodiesel that is made from palm oil has increased from 35 percent (B35), which was the previous level that was enforced in January 2023, to 40 percent (B40) in the B40 stage of the biodiesel program. Conventional diesel makes up the remaining 60% of the blend.
Fuel distributors were allowed till the end of February as a transition time since Indonesia had intended to debut on January 1st but encountered some delays because of regulatory concerns.Eniya stated that the changeover period would not be extended.
Indonesia, the world’s biggest palm oil producer, has allocated 15.6 million KL of biodiesel for distribution in 2025.
