During an official visit to Japan on March 30, 2026, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto announced that the country will proceed with its B50 palm oil-based biodiesel program this year, raising the blend from 40% to 50%. While authorities had previously sidelined the B50 plan in January due to technical and funding constraints, the government has moved to revive the initiative as a strategic response to global energy supply disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran.
