<br>Indonesia, the [world's largest](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) exporter of palm oil, had actually planned to release the mandatory requirement of 40% palm oil fuel in biodiesel on Jan. 1, up from 35% now.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>"The ministerial policy has actually been signed," the minister Bahlil Lahadalia told reporters, adding the federal government was working to increase the compulsory biodiesel mix to 50% next year.<br>

She said the [hold-up](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) was since of technical difficulties connected to aids for the fuel.<br>

<br>The non-implementation on Jan. 1. had actually led to a 2.6% drop in the Malaysian palm oil benchmark contract on Thursday. On Friday, it recuperated by around 1%.<br>

<br>Fuel sellers and [biodiesel manufacturers](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) had actually stated they were not able to draw up contracts for [biodiesel circulation](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) without the decree.<br>

<br>The biodiesel allowance for 2025 showed an increase from 2024['s approximated](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) biodiesel intake of 12.98 KL, ministry information showed on Friday.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>Of the total [allocation](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) for this year, 7.55 million KL is for the public service (PSO), which covers sectors such as public transport, whose sales will be subsidised by the nation's palm [oil fund](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited).<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>"The remaining allocations will be sold at market price. The non-PSO allowance is set at 8.07 million KL," Bahlil stated, adding the fund might not subsidise the rate gap between the palm oil and [nonrenewable fuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) sources for the general allocation.<br>
