To reduce fuel imports and carbon emissions, Indonesia’s incoming President Prabowo Subianto has recently announced that the country will enforce a mandatory B50 biodiesel policy by 2025.
This announcement has raised concerns in the industry about the rush to implement this policy, citing issues such as potential raw material shortages that could drive up prices and impact the production of other palm oil products. Additionally, the technology for B50 is not yet fully developed.
