Based on a report by the Indonesian Biofuel Producers Association (Aprobi), Indonesia produced approximately 11.8 million kiloliters of biodiesel in 2022.

This production volume is the highest on record since Aprobi began collecting data, as shown in the graph.

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel made from vegetable oil or animal fat. This fuel can be used in diesel engines, either as 100% pure biodiesel or mixed with diesel fuel in certain proportions.

According to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), various plants have the potential to be processed into biodiesel, such as castor beans, candlenut, and Chinese candlenut, among others.

However, to date, biodiesel production in Indonesia still uses palm oil (crude palm oil/CPO) as its main raw material.

According to a report by the Indonesian Palm Oil Producers Association (Gapki), domestic consumption of palm oil for biodiesel production has steadily increased in recent years.

The utilization of palm oil for biodiesel is also expected to increase further this year, following the government's B35 mandate, which requires a 35% blend of biodiesel in diesel fuel starting February 1, 2023.

"The implementation of B35 is one form of the government's commitment to addressing the climate crisis by significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, namely accelerating inclusive, clean, and sustainable energy and encouraging investment to achieve Net Zero Emission," said Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto in a press release on Tuesday (January 31, 2023).
