Indonesia will proceed with its plan to raise the palm oil content in biodiesel to 50% (B50), but the rollout is unlikely to begin in January 2026, according to senior energy ministry official Eniya Listiani Dewi. The new blend requires multiple tests, which could take up to eight months to complete. This year, Indonesia allocated 15.6 million kiloliters of palm oil for its B40 program, up from 13.2 million kiloliters in 2024. The Indonesian Biofuel Producers Association (APROBI) estimates that the B50 mandate could require up to 19 million kiloliters of palm oil annually. The move aims to boost domestic palm oil consumption, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and support prices, though it may affect export supply dynamics.
