In various state speeches, President Joko Widodo has made it known that the government is building energy self-sufficiency by developing the B20 and B30 (palm oil) biofuel as an energy source.
After successfully implementing in early January 2020 the policy on the use of B20 biodiesel, comprised of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derived from 20 percent palm oil and 80 percent diesel oil, the government has increased the palm oil content of biodiesel to 30 percent palm oil and 70 percent diesel oil (B30).
