September 26, 2018 |

In Indonesia, Economic Coordinating Minister Darmin Nasution threatened companies who don’t distribute a 20% blended biodiesel, or B20, with fines. The mandatory biodiesel blend came into force on September 1st. The threat came during a coordination meeting that was to discuss the implementation of the policy and Darmin said the fine would be imposed on any companies that fail to implement provisions stipulated in the regulation, whether they were a natural oil fuel company or a vegetable fuel company, according to The Jarkarta Post.

During the meeting, Darmin admitted the program had some challenges like the slow distribution process, but said that he expects it to improve soon. Darmin also told The Jakarta Post that relevant ministers planned to have another coordination meeting on Thursday to evaluate companies who had not distributed the B20. “We will summon all the companies so that we can evaluate the data,” Darmin told The Jakarta Post.
