JAKARTA \u2013 The government has stated that there is no change on the implementation of the mandatory program of biodiesel 50 percent (B50), which is an upgrading of the current B40 mandatory program, and it will stick to the target of starting its implementation early in 2026.<\/p>\n

Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Yuliot Tanjung said that the success of the current B40 program implementation is the basis for upgrading it to B50 program early next year. He said they had conducted an evaluation of the B40 program implementation during the last few months and it turned out that the distribution of B40 under Public Service Obligation (PSO) and non-PSO has been proceeding well as expected.<\/p>\n

“Now, we\u2019re preparing for its upgrading to B50 program next year (2026). Hopefully, early next year it can be started,\u201d Yuliot said at the ESDM office building in Jakarta on Friday (16\/05).<\/p>\n

According to Yuliot, the B50 program is also supported with the availability of FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester from crude palm oil –CPO)<\/em> , which is suuplied through a number of biodiesel producing companies.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re also evaluating other domestic supporting companies. In terms of availability of FAME we\u2019re almost ready for implementation of B50 program next year,” he said.<\/p>\n

Previously, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia had also stated that the government \u00a0will upgrade the current B40 to B50 next year. \u201cOur acceleration of B50 is aimed at, among others, reducing imports of oil fuels. It is also in line with the target of raising oil-gas lifting and reaching energy self-sufficiency,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n

In supporting the implementation of B50 mandatory program, the government has also decided to develop methanol plant at the value of US$1.0 – US$1.2 billion in Bojonegoro, East Java province.\u00a0The methanol is an important ingredient for the process of transesterification of the FAME production, which is the raw material for biodiesel mixture with fossil diesel fuel.<\/p>\n

NO Expansion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yuliot said that for the implementation of B50 program there will be no need for the expansion of oil palm plantations to meet the need of CPO in the near future. “There is no need for expansion of palm plantations for the B50. We\u2019ve coordinated with the agriculture ministry to ensure that the supply of CPO will still be enough for B50 implementation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But he said that if the government wants to upgrade it later to B60, then there is a possibility of expanding the existing palm plantations to meet the increase of demand for CPO supply. \u201cBut considering the progress of replanting for smallholders\u2019 plantations, such possibility of expansion is projected to be not significant,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Energy Transition<\/strong><\/p>\n

Commenting on the implementation of B50 program in 2026, the house of representatives\u2019 (DPR) Commission XII Member Rusli Habibie said it will further realize Indonesia\u2019s commitment in pushing the energy transition toward low carbon energy sources to support sustainable development based on green principles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe implementation of B50 is not just a matter of renewable energy. It is also a matter of keeping our energy resilience, increasing the added values of palm oil, and increasing the public welfare through downstreaming of palm oil industry,\u201d Rusli said in Jakarta on Wednesday (21\/05\/2025).<\/p>\n

But Rusli reminded all stakeholders on the importance of maintaining a balance between ensuring the supply of palm oil for foods and its supply for energy sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cB50 program is very strategic, but its implementation should not disrupt the supply of palm oil for foods. Keeping such a balance should become the focus of attention of all stakeholders,\u201d the legislator from Gorontalo electoral district said. (*)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
