Indonesia's January-September biodiesel production at 6.47 million kilolitres

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia biodiesel production in the first nine months of the year stood at 6.47 million kilolitres, a senior industry official said on Tuesday.

Indonesia biodiesel domestic consumption in the January to September period was 6.33 million kilolitres, Paulus Tjakrawan, vice-chairman of the Indonesian Biodiesel Producers Association, told an online seminar.

This is higher than the country's energy ministry's data, which showed that Indonesia's consumption of unblended biodiesel made from palm oil in January to September was 6.17 million kilolitres.
