KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 7 (Thomson Reuters Foundation): Indonesia's electric vehicle drive is likely to overtake its ambitious biodiesel programme within a decade, but will only achieve its aim of helping curb climate change if the country ramps up clean energy investment, environmental researchers say.
The Southeast Asian nation - home to the world's third-largest tropical forests - has steadily increased the share of its biodiesel mandate derived from palm oil since 2018, despite the risk that could fuel deforestation.
