MALAYSIA is in talks with oil companies about moving the start of its B10 biodiesel mandate to July, a month later from the earlier plan to begin the programme in June, aiming to complete full implementation of the new standard by August.
This takes into account time needed for oil companies to reset blending ratios and procure enough palm methyl ester (PME), said the ministry of plantation industries and commodities in reply to Reuters, referring to the bio component of biodiesel that comes from palm oil.
