Malaysian government looking to implement B10 biodiesel program

In Malaysia, biodiesel production looks to increase after three years thanks to support from the government and the Malaysian Biodiesel Association. The MBA represents 22 national and international biodiesel producers with a total installed annual capacity of nearly 2.7 million tons. To further incentivize biodiesel production, the Plantation Industry and Commodities Ministry (MPIC) is now considering a transition from a B5 blending program to B10. The move would increase the consumption of CPO by another 300,000 tons per year and help to decrease the country’s palm oil surplus.
