(The Star) Malaysia is expected to produce between 800,000 and 900,000 tonnes of biodiesel in 2017 from 500,000 tonnes last year when the government implements the biodiesel mandate, said the Malaysian Biodiesel Association.
Its president, U.R Unnithan said the B10 mandate implementation is expected to start anytime this year.
The biodiesel B10 is a blend of 10% palm methyl ester (PME) and 90% regular diesel, while B7 is of a lower blend of 7% PME.
Unnithan said likewise, the Indonesian output would rise to 3.5 million tonnes in 2017 from three million tonnes in 2016. READ MORE
