It said that by 2028, all biodiesel users will shift to the B50 standard, which includes 50% palm oil-based fuel. Indonesia has since said it will launch a programme to raise the mandatory blending rate for palm-based biodiesel from 40% to 50%, a standard known as B50, starting from July 1. B50 will be the standard for all users by 2028, the decree said. The Energy Ministry will issue a new ministerial decree to allocate the biodiesel required to meet the B50 goal in the second half of this year, Eniya said. Southeast Asia's largest economy, Indonesia, is also planning to roll out a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate starting from 2027.
