# COMMODITIES 2026: Regulatory uncertainty impedes palm oil mill effluent trade | S&P Global

> S&P Global reports that palm oil mill effluent (POME) oil trade faces uncertainty in 2026 from EU scrutiny of POME use in biofuels and from Indonesian export restrictions on POME oil and used cooking oil. Demand for waste feedstocks for SAF and biodiesel is rising, and Indonesia's biodiesel mandate is set to increase to 50% in 2026.

- Commodities: [Palm Oil](https://feedsoft.ai/c/PALMOIL.md)

## Why it matters

Export restrictions and rising biofuel feedstock demand tighten the supply of waste-based oils, which supports POME oil prices and lends some support to palm oil more broadly.
