Production

At present, Indonesia has the highest installed biodiesel production capacity in the region, at 11.8 billion liters per year, doubled from 5.85 billion liters in 2011. At the end of 2018, installed production capacity in Malaysia stood at 2.27 billion liters, followed by Thailand at 2.06 billion liters. In the Philippines, installed biodiesel production capacity stood at 740 million liters at the end of 2017.

Biodiesel producers in Indonesia run at about 80% of the installed capacity amid the government’s mandate to blend 30% v/v biodiesel with 70% v/v conventional diesel (B30) from January 1, 2020.

Philippines’ biodiesel producers run at about 33% of the installed capacity as the government’s mandate remains at 2% v/v (B2). Malaysia’s and Thailand’s biodiesel producers run at 55%
