Indonesia’s idea for B50 would require 2B liters of CPO annually

In Indonesia, Palm Oil Magazine reports the country estimates by raising its biodiesel blending mandate to 50%, demand would increase to 2 billion liters of annual crude palm oil consumption compared to the 1.34 billion liters currently consumed under B35. The blend is set to go to 40% by January 2025. Domestic production is currently at just 1.6-1.7 billion liters, so would require a significant increase in production in order to achieve the plan for B50.
