Indonesia planned to raise the palm oil content of biodiesel from 35% (B35) to 40% (B40) starting January 1, 2025. The Energy Ministry estimates the mandate would require 15.62 million kiloliters of crude palm oil in 2025.
Industry group Gapki expects exports to fall by 2 million tons as domestic use rises, while Indonesian output fell to 47.8 million tons in 2024.
