MALAYSIA is seriously considering legislation to mandate the blending of diesel with palm oil as an environmentally-friendly fuel, said Primary Industries Minister Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik.
My ministry is working out the economic model for the legislation to ensure that blended diesel fuel will not become expensive whenever the price of palm oil rises,'' he told reporters after launching the Malaysian Palm Oil Board's International Palm Oil Congress (PIPOC 2003) in Putrajaya yesterday.
