he Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry has obligated two oil companies ' Shell and Total ' to put at least 10 percent biodiesel in their diesel fuel mix.
The policy is part of the government's program to reduce diesel-based fuel imports.
Energy and Mineral Resources Deputy Minister Susilo Siswoutomo said as quoted by kontan.co.id that state-owned fuel and gas company PT Pertamina had already put 10 percent biodiesel into its diesel fuel mix.
Susilo added that using biodiesel would help the country reduce its imports.
'Biodiesel is produced domestically so we do not need to dollars on it,' Susilo said.
