According to reports, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto announced that the country's B50 palm oil-based biodiesel policy has been successful, and Indonesia will completely stop importing diesel from July 2026. A statement issued by the presidential secretariat quoted Prabowo's statement: “We have successfully become the first country in the world to mass-produce B50 biodiesel.” “We are now able to independently produce diesel fuel from palm oil, so starting in July this year, the country will no longer import diesel from overseas.” The president explained that stopping diesel imports would bring considerable economic benefits to the public. The government plans to invest the financial funds originally used for overseas fuel purchases directly into the domestic agricultural industry. In addition to biodiesel, the Indonesian government has launched the E10 gasoline project. The gasoline is mixed with 10% bioethanol as a transition plan for fully popularizing bioethanol fuel. Indonesia plans to raise the ethanol blending ratio to the E20 standard in the future.
