JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesia plans to implement a biodiesel program with 40% bio-content (B40) between 2021-2022, coordinating minister overseeing energy Luhut Pandjaitan said on Tuesday.
It will start using biodiesel with 30% bio-content in January.
The government aims to start road tests using B40 next year, Pandjaitan told reporters.
The program will not raise bio-content higher than 50% if the government’s palm replanting program is stalled, he said.
