en.Wedoany.com Reported - Indonesia's Ministry of Energy has issued regulations mandating B50 biodiesel starting July 1, with a three-month transition period for fuel retailers to clear existing stocks.

Under the mandate, all diesel sold in the country from July must contain 50% palm oil-based biodiesel and 50% conventional diesel. This move aims to address oil supply disruptions following attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel. The country currently implements a B40 policy, requiring a 40% palm oil-based biodiesel blend in fuel.

Eniya Listiani Dewi, Director General of Renewable Energy at Indonesia's Ministry of Energy, stated that details of the new B50 regulation have not yet been released, but a three-month transition period has been set for distributors to clear existing stocks. Additionally, Indonesia plans to blend unsubsidized gasoline with at least 5% ethanol on the most populous island of Java between 2026 and 2027, with plans to increase this ratio to 10% by 2028.

To meet the growing demand from the B50 program, the ministry has not issued additional biodiesel quotas this year. Under the B40 mandate, the ministry has allocated 15.64 million kiloliters in quotas.
