# Palm Oil News - Who Gets the Advantages of B30 (Biodiesel 30)

> InfoSAWIT examines who benefits from Indonesia's B30 biodiesel mandate. It projects biodiesel needs rising to about 15.07 million kilolitres by 2024, requiring roughly 17.3 million tonnes of CPO. The piece argues the programme absorbs domestic palm oil and reduces import needs, while also cutting export opportunities.

## Why it matters

Sustained domestic biodiesel absorption of CPO tightens the exportable surplus and supports palm oil prices, although the mandate's reliance on export levy funding adds policy uncertainty.
