Indonesia issues regulation to implement B50 on July 1st.

Indonesia has issued a regulation to implement its mandate to increase the blending of palm oil-based biodiesel in diesel (B50) to 50%, effective July 1, according to an official from the country's Energy Ministry close to Reuters on Thursday (25). According to the source, the Jakarta government has established a three-month transition period for retail stocks and has mandated that all current volumes be liquidated within that timeframe. The B50 program is a response to oil supply disruptions and was expedited following the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran.
