Summary

Acting Director General of New and Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Jisman Hutajulu, revealed a significant decline in biodiesel exports attributed to trade barriers imposed by the European Union. Jisman highlighted the EU Deforestation-Free Regulation (EUDR), alongside discriminatory trade policies involving anti-dumping tariffs and additional import duties, as key factors pressuring export performance. "It has dropped by as much as 70 percent," he disclosed on Feb 27.

"Biodiesel plays a crucial role in this bioenergy spectrum," he underscored.
