GOOTO.COM, Jakarta - Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto stated that the use of biodiesel with 40 percent palm oil-based vegetable fuel or B40 will be implemented starting on January 1, 2025. This is in line with the mandatory B40 biodiesel program.
"For B40 biodiesel, we are committed to starting on January 1 (2025)," Airlangga said on Saturday, November 30, 2024.
Airlangga revealed that this B40 biodiesel will still be implemented even if the price of palm oil has skyrocketed recently. If there is a price difference due to the increase in the price of palm oil, Airlangga stated that it would be addressed by the Indonesian Oil Palm Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDPKS).
"BPDPKS is willing to finance the price gap below the new palm oil price," he said.
Airlangga mentioned that this program has successfully contributed to global efforts to reduce emissions. In addition, this program is also part of President Prabowo Subianto's major program to achieve food security, food self-sufficiency, energy self-sufficiency, and the downscaling of the plantation industry, especially palm oil.
Earlier, Airlangga said the implementation of B40 would increase the use of crude palm oil (CPO) as a feedstock for fuel. However, he assured that the supply of CPO would still be sufficient to meet the demand for B40.
