New rules to ensure Indonesia achieves 20% biodiesel blending

In Indonesia, the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry has mandated the blending of 20% biodiesel and established a fine of 46 cents per liter against those who do not blend as required. In an effort to ensure sufficient supplies for blending, biodiesel producers are required to register with the government, a move that in conjunction with the other new rules the producers association has applauded saying that it will help to boost consumption and support prices.
