  • What is palm oil based biodiesel?
  • Palm oil based biodiesel as alternative fuels for diesel engine Biodiesel commonly known as fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) (Mayorga et al., 2020) is a generic organic renewable fuel which can be directly used along with mineral diesel with or without modification of the engine.
  • Is palm oil biodiesel a strategic solution to energy sovereignty?
  • Photo by: Palm Oil Magazine PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAKARTA – The Indonesian government’s palm oil biodiesel program represents a strategic solution to achieving energy sovereignty and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. However, to realize this vision, it’s essential to prioritize the involvement of smallholders.
  • Is palm biodiesel a good biofuel?
  • Among other biodiesels, palm biodiesel has proved itself as a most dominating biofuel due to its highest contribution worldwide (35%), minimum price (660 USD/ton), maximum oil content (5000 kg oil/ha), and production yield (4.2 MT/ha).
  • How to increase production and consumption of palm oil-based biofuels?
  • The dynamic system model is consists of4 stages, namely oil palm plantations, palm oil production, biofuel production and consumption. The analysis shows that there is no single strategy that can increase the production and consumption of palm oil-based biofuels.
  • Can palm-oil based biofuels meet Indonesia's mandatory biodiesel target?
  • Table 2. Scenario simulation. The level of CPO output that needs to be devoted to produce palm-oil based biofuels in order to meet Indonesia's mandatory biodiesel target is a complex issue involving various integrated variable components. The production flow is seen as a dynamic system problem based on time and influenced by dynamic factors.
  • How does biodiesel affect land use and palm oil market?
  • Mandatory consumption drives demand, which in turn propels the biodiesel sector; nevertheless, there are also noteworthy effects on land use and the palm oil market. The consequences of increased production on agricultural and tropical areas must therefore be studied before increasing the needed ratio of biodiesel to diesel – biodiesel blend.
