Total crude palm oil feedstock for biodiesel in Malaysia 2012-2022
In 2022, it was forecast that total crude palm oil (CPO) feedstock for biodiesel in Malaysia would amount up to around 1 billion liters. The Government of Malaysia (GOM) announced its National Biofuel Policy in 2006 to cut down the need on fossil fuels and to help sustain the palm oil (CPO) industry. Although the majority of domestically produced biodiesel is spent by the transportation sector, GOM is also intending to use it in the industrial sector, primarily to heat boilers and generate electricity.
