Malaysia: Biofuels Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   MY2022-0008

The implementation of Malaysia’s B20 mandate has been officially postponed until the end of 2022. However, it will be difficult for the Government of Malaysia (GoM) to implement the B20 within the current deadline and Post expects the delays to continue into 2023. Exports of biodiesel in 2022 are projected at 410 million liters, an increase of 8 percent from the previous year. With no domestic feedstock industry to support it, Malaysia has no fuel ethanol program, despite associated human health and climate benefits.
