The Indonesian government is optimistic that the B20 biodiesel will be ready to enter the market next year, as no problems were found during its most recent test.
Indonesia Oil Palm Estate Fund (BPDP) Fund Distribution Director Dadan Kusdiana said that the use of B20 diesel had been tested and showed no problems. The B20 diesel contains 20% palm oil biodiesel and 80% diesel and was developed to support the government's mandate to increase the biodiesel in diesel fuel.
"The B20 biodiesel is environmentally friendly," said Kusdiana, adding that the fuel was able to contribute to the country's economy as it added value to Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and reduced diesel imports.
