Malaysia's biodiesel development has encountered significant challenges, with officials pointing to the need for infrastructure upgrades to increase the palm oil blending ratio in biodiesel.

Biodiesel, derived from biomass, faces development challenges due to environmental limitations. Indonesia’s biodiesel policy, which promotes the use of palm oil-based biodiesel, has been impacted by rising costs of fatty acid methyl esters in palm oil.

To assist the aviation industry in its decarbonization efforts, the Thai government and businesses are focusing on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Two major oil companies in Thailand have partnered with Japanese firms to increase raw material supply.

A new biofuels hub focused on Bio-Liquefied Natural Gas (Bio-LNG) will be established in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), with the capacity to process 350,000 tons of Bio-LNG annually.

Indonesia’s B40 policy, which mandates a 40% palm oil mix with 60% diesel, was initially set to take effect on January 1, 2025. However, officials have confirmed a delay until February, giving businesses a 1.5-month grace period. Furthermore, the governme

Malaysia plans to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by 2027, leveraging its natural resources to grow its bioenergy sector. However, limited availability of used cooking oil (UCO) raises concerns about meeting biofuel supply demands.

Indonesia has reached an innovative milestone in bioenergy development, officially confirming that B40 biodiesel, a blend of 40% palm oil and 60% regular diesel, will be introduced starting next year.

Indonesia's state-owned oil company, Pertamina, is launching a pilot project for sorghum cultivation to be used as a bioethanol feedstock, thereby reducing reliance on imported wheat and other grains.

Compared to wind and solar, bioenergy receives relatively little attention but is the largest renewable energy source globally, serving as fuel, heat, electricity, and even integrating with carbon capture technologies. Here’s a foundational look at bioene
