Malaysia mulls growth of B10 biodiesel utilization to industrial sector.
Malaysia is contemplating growth of its B10 biodiesel programme, which requires the necessary use of 10% palm oil, to the commercial sector, its plantations and commodities minister mentioned.
Malaysia, the world’s second greatest producer of palm oil, presently implements the B10 programme just for the transportation sector.
Minister Fadillah Yusof didn’t say when a choice on the B10 mandate for industrial use could be finalised.
Malaysia has rolled out a B20 programme in phases, and the nationwide implementation of that may improve crude palm oil consumption to over 1 million tonnes each year, Fadillah mentioned.
A mandate to make use of biodiesel with 30% palm oil could be applied by 2025, Fadillah mentioned, reiterating Malaysia’s earlier targets.
