Malaysia will start implementing a so-called B-10 biodiesel program for the transportation sector from Dec. 1 and will expand it to the industrial sector from Jul. 1, 2019, as the country seeks to cut fuel import bill and boost local consumption of the commodity, Nikkei Asian Review reports. The so-called B10 biodiesel programme will raise the minimum bio-content that local producers must put in biodiesel to be used in transport to 10 percent from 7 percent, potentially boosting demand for palm oil as a feedstock, according to Reuters. Malaysia’s economic growth could accelerate beyond 2020 if commodity prices were to pick up on the back of a recovery in global economic expansion, says Moody’s Analytics chief Asia-Pacific economist Steven G. Cochrane.
