Indonesia implements B40 with 20% increase in biodiesel production quota

In Indonesia, Xinhua news agency reports the Indonesian government has boosted its biodiesel allotment for 2025 by 20% to nearly 1.56 billion liters as it implements its 40% blending mandate. During B35, the mandate was at nearly 1.3 billion liters. Two of PT Pertamina’s refineries in Sumatra Island and Papua have been preparing to provide the higher blend. The country is already preparing for a shift to B50 in 2025 as it looks to significantly reduce its reliance on fossil fuel imports.
