JAKARTA (Vietnam News/ANN): Indonesia is conducting tests as it prepares for the incoming government’s plan to increase the palm oil-based biodiesel blending mandate to 50%, up from the current 35%.

Currently, under its ‘B35’ programme, Indonesia has one of the highest biofuel blend mandates globally. The outgoing government of President Joko Widodo had planned to increase this to B40 next year.
