# Indonesian B40 biodiesel plan back on track as palm oil prices improve - Biofuels International Magazine

> Indonesia plans to resume its biodiesel programme, with state firm Pertamina producing an experimental 40% blend (B40) containing 30% FAME, 10% green diesel and 60% fossil diesel. Pertamina also ran a three-day trial producing 1,000 barrels per day of green diesel. Indonesia continues its WTO complaint against EU restrictions on palm-based biofuels.
