# Indonesia readies B50 technical scheme; Malaysia holds 10% duty

> Indonesia's energy ministry is developing the technical framework for a B50 biodiesel blend, with infrastructure readiness and financing still open issues. Malaysia lowered its December crude palm oil reference price while keeping its export duty unchanged at 10%.
