JAKARTA. Indonesia's biodiesel consumption from January to September stood at 10.57 million kilolitres, its energy minister Bahlil Lahadalia said on Wednesday, up nearly 10% from 9.61 million kilolitres a year earlier.

Indonesia raised the mandatory palm oil content in diesel fuel to 40% this year, up from the previous level of 35% in an effort to reduce the country's reliance on fuel imports.

The government allocated 15.6 million kilolitres of biodiesel for the palm-based fuel blending mandate, known as B40, for this year.

Indonesia is aiming to raise the biodiesel blending mandate to 50% in the second half of 2026, which Bahlil said could help the country stop gasoil imports completely.
