KL plans 1-month delay in B10 biodiesel mandate
It is in talks with oil companies to begin programme in July, a month later than earlier planned; new standards to use 709,000 tonnes of palm oil a year
Kuala Lumpur
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.
