Indonesia Govt allows Pertamina to sell unblended diesel to retailers


The retailers however, must blend the fuel with fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) made from palmoil before distribution

JAKARTA: Indonesia's Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry has issued a circular letter saying state oil company PT Pertamina is allowed to sell unblended diesel fuel to other fuel retailers, an official said on Monday.

The latest circular backed up an earlier rule by the ministry that asked importers to buy diesel fuel from Pertamina due to high excess supply of the fuel as the coronavirus outbreak slashed demand.
