Indonesia to implement B40 palm oil biodiesel on Jan 1, 2025, official says
Indonesia plans to implement biodiesel containing a mandatory 40% blend of palm oil-based fuel from Jan. 1 next year, senior energy ministry official Eniya Listiani Dewi said on Thursday.
Indonesia currently has a 35% mandatory blend for palm oil-based biodiesel, known as B35.
The government had previously flagged a plan to increase the biodiesel blend to 40% next year, without specifying a start date.
“There is no issue in terms of supply volume and other aspects, so we are ready for a mandatory (implementation),” Eniya told.
When implemented, the B40 mandate could increase biodiesel consumption to up to 16 million kilolitres (KL) next year from a forecast of 13 million KL this year, the energy ministry has estimated.
