Trial of B20 In Malaysia, starting in 2020, it wants to start using B20 or a mixture of 20 percent palm vegetable oil in diesel / solar fuels. Two test cars for the program appeared on the sidelines of the implementation of the Malaysia Palm Oil Board: International Palm Oil Congress and Exhibition (PIPOC 2019) at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, Malaysia, on Tuesday (19/11/2019).
Indonesia is able to produce fuel from palm oil that can completely replace diesel (B100).
The bio-diesel oil is produced by Pertamina Research and Technology Center (RTC). The vegetable diesel is made through a trans-esterification process, by reacting palm oil with alcohol, for example methanol, to produce pure vegetable diesel, also known as fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). To be fully used as a substitute for B100, FAME must be treated to make it as similar as possible to diesel.
