Indonesia set to officially implement B40 biodiesel blending programme on 1 January
The Indonesian government is set to start its 40% palm oil-based biodiesel (B40) blending programme on 1 January, according to a report by The Star.
The palm oil-based biodiesel was expected to reduce CO₂ emissions in the country by up to 40M tonnes/year, the 1 December report quoted Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto as saying at the 12th Ministerial Meeting of the Council of Palm Oil Producing Countries (CPOPC).
Indonesia’s B35 programme had reduced CO₂ emissions by about 32M tonnes/year, Hartarto said.
The government had also agreed to increase the national palm oil production quota to meet increased demand from the B40 programme, Hartarto was quoted as saying in a 29 November Jakarta Globe report.
Initially, the Indonesian government had planned to launch the B40 programme between 2021/2022, but high vegetable oil prices had made it too costly.
