Biodiesel exports from Indonesia from 2010 to 2020
Indonesia's biodiesel exports amounted to 39 million liters in 2020, showing a decrease from 1.23 billion liters in the previous year as an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 60 percent of all shipments went to EU country destinations, followed by China and South Korea. Biodiesel exports are forecast to remain low in 2021 with some increased demand expected from China. Indonesia is Southeast Asia’s largest economy and is a major fossil-fuel producer and exporter. The country is also the largest coal exporter, the seventh-largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter, and the world’s largest producer of biofuels. Indonesia started adopting biofuels policy at national level in 2006 by issuing Regulation 1 governing the obtainment and use of biofuels.
