SD Guthrie Berhad launches B30 Pilot with government, Petronas and MPOB
In Malaysia, SD Guthrie Berhad has launched the B30 Biodiesel pilot project with partners, Ministry of Plantation and Commodities (KPK), Petronas Dagangan Bhd (PDB) and Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), to ensure a reliable and scalable supply of higher bio-content diesel for its plantations in Carey Island, Selangor.
Through this project, Guthrie will transition all operational machinery and diesel-powered vehicles in its plantations in Carey Island to run on B30 biodiesel, a blend of 30% palm-based biodiesel and 70% petroleum-based diesel. For Guthrie’s operations, this cleaner-burning fuel offers up to 23% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per litre compared to conventional diesel. The B30 biodiesel will be sourced from PDB’s Melaka terminal.
