B50 program requires 18.4 million tons of crude palm oil per year

B50 PLAM OIL

According to Palm Oil Journal, Indonesia estimates that if the biodiesel blend ratio is increased to 50%, annual crude palm oil consumption will increase to 2 billion liters (18.4 million tons), compared to 1.34 billion liters (12.328 million tons) under the current B35 program. By January 2025, the blending ratio will reach 40%.

Currently, domestic production is only 1.67-17 billion liters (14.72-15.64 million tons), so a significant increase in production will be needed to achieve the B50 plan.
