JAKARTA, Jan 3 (Reuters) - Indonesia Energy and Mineral Resources Minister signed a decree on Friday assigning 15.6 million [kilolitres](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) (KL) of [biodiesel](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) for 2025 distribution, while [offering](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) the [industry](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) till the end of next month to adapt to the higher level of the fuel in the mix.
+
Indonesia, the world's largest exporter of palm oil, had planned to release the necessary [requirement](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) of 40% [palm oil](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) fuel in biodiesel on Jan. 1, up from 35% now.
+
"The ministerial guideline has been signed," the minister Bahlil Lahadalia informed reporters, including the federal government was working to increase the obligatory biodiesel mix to 50% next year.
+
Eniya Listiani Dewi, a ministry senior official, said biodiesel manufacturers and fuel sellers will be offered till Feb. 28 to adapt to the B40 mix. She said the delay was since of technical challenges linked to subsidies for the fuel.
+
The [non-implementation](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) on Jan. 1. had caused a 2.6% drop in the [Malaysian palm](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) oil standard agreement on Thursday. On Friday, it [recuperated](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) by around 1%.
+
Fuel merchants and [biodiesel](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) producers had actually stated they were unable to draw up contracts for [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) circulation without the decree.
+
The [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) allotment for 2025 suggested a boost from 2024's estimated biodiesel usage of 12.98 KL, ministry information showed on Friday.
+
Of the total allotment for this year, 7.55 million KL is for the general public service obligation (PSO), which covers sectors such as mass transit, whose sales will be subsidised by the [country's palm](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) oil fund.
+
"The staying allocations will be cost market price. The non-PSO allotment is set at 8.07 million KL," Bahlil said, adding the fund might not subsidise the rate gap between the palm oil and fossil fuels for the general allocation.
+
BPDPKS, the agency in charge of collecting and managing the palm oil funds, estimated in November B40 would need a 68% subsidy increase.
+
To assist fund that, Indonesia prepares to increase its [export levy](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) for unrefined palm oil (CPO) to 10% from the current 7.5%, but for that to occur, another main regulation is needed.
