PM: B10 biodiesel to drive green efforts and economy


PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia’s initiatives to use palm-based biodiesel as fuel will reduce stock and stabilise commodity prices amid attempts by others to restrict its export and sales, said the Prime Minister.

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who drove home the point when he arrived for the launch of the B10 biodiesel at the wheel of a Peugeot 508, said such efforts would also be beneficial to the environment, lessening pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
