The Energy Ministry is aiming to finish the implementing rules related to the mandatory B40 biofuel policy later this week. Indonesia is aiming to start using the so-called B40, a biodiesel product that has a palm oil blending rate of 40 percent, starting in 2025. This policy is one of Indonesia’s strategies to switch to cleaner fuel by taking advantage of its palm oil. Indonesia is leading the global palm oil production.The country aims to produce 15.62 million kiloliters of B40 biodiesel this year, which should be enough to meet the demand across the country. The state-run oil company Pertamina has also prepared two of its refineries in Palembang and Papua to facilitate the B40 production. Its commercial arm Pertamina Patra Niaga is in charge of blending the biodiesel with the diesel fuel.Source: https://jakartaglobe.id/news/rules-on-b40-biodiesel-to-finish-this-week (ICE GIACARTA)
