Indonesia developing 100% palm oil drop in fuel

In Indonesia, in an interview with the industry minister, Reuters reports that the country is offering incentives to developers of drop-in diesel made from 100% palm oil and has already identified a process that will be ready to go commercial in three years. He said the prototype HVO fuel developed by Elevance Renewable Sciences and Wilmar International doesn’t have the same challenges FAME does at higher blends. The minister said the country’s biodiesel program has already reduced its fossil fuel import bill by $21 million per day.
