Indonesia: Biofuels Annual
Indonesia’s palm-based biodiesel industry enjoyed a large expansion in 2018 with the beginning of nationwide expansion of B20 to the non-public (Non-PSO) transport sector and a sharp jump in overseas demand. Domestic consumption is set for another large year-over-year increase in 2019 largely due to further expansion of B20 to the Non-PSO transport sector. Exports are forecast to remain elevated near 1.8 billion liters based on continued demand from the EU and China. Indonesia’s fuel ethanol consumption remains virtually zero since 2010 due to lack of financial support and a mandate that has not been enforced.
