<br>JAKARTA, July 24 (Reuters) - Indonesia, the [world's](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) greatest [palm oil](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) manufacturer, is testing fuel with a view to increasing to 40% from 35% the share of palm-oil combined into [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) next year, the energy ministry said.<br> |

<br>If executed, the B40 required could [increase](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) consumption to up to 16 million kilolitres (KL) next year, the [ministry](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) stated, from 13 million KL approximated to be in 2024.<br> |

<br>"We hope the trials might be completed in December, so that complete application of B40 could be brought out in 2025," energy ministry senior official Eniya Listiani Dewi said in a declaration on Tuesday.<br> |

<br>The Indonesian Biofuel Producers Association (APROBI) said the industry had the capacity to [satisfy](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) B40 need, with set up capability expected to rise to 20 million KL annually next year from 18 million KL now.<br> |
|
|

<br>"However we will need more basic materials to satisfy B40 need," Ernest Gunawan, the secretary general of APROBI informed Reuters on Wednesday.<br> |

<br>The [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) industry would require 13.9 million metric loads of [unrefined palm](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) oil to produce 16 million KL [biodiesel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) next year, from the [approximated](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) 11 million loads needed this year, he added.<br> |

<br>[Indonesia's](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) greatest palm oil association GAPKI stated a decline in exports suggested there would be sufficient raw products to [provide](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) the B40 [required](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) in the meantime.<br> |

<br>But the market would require to evaluate "which one would be more valuable", GAPKI chairman Eddy Martono said, describing the possibility an increase in exports would make supplying the domestic market less feasible.<br> |

<br>Indonesia's palm oil output is approximated to reach 54.4 million lots in 2024, a 2.26% increase from in 2015, while exports are [expected](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) to decrease by 2.47% to 29.5 million loads as domestic usage rose, driven by [biodiesel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) mandate.<br> |

<br>The ministry had actually checked the [biodiesel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy), combined with 40% of palm oil, on a train for the very first time previously today, while [preparing](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) to evaluate the B40 mix on agriculture machinery, power plants and in the shipping market, it stated.
