The Indonesian government announced that the B35 biodiesel mandate will begin on February 1, 2023, with biodiesel to be used across national transport. Officials said the policy supports energy security and is funded through palm oil export levies managed by BPDPKS.
Confirmed start of the B35 mandate locks in higher domestic palm oil use for biodiesel, reducing exports and supporting vegetable oil prices.
