Implementation of the 10 percent biodiesel blend (B10) planned for July 1, 2016 has been postponed to the end of the year, but, realistically, Post believes it will likely be implemented in the first quarter of 2017. With full implementation of B10 in 2017, consumption is expected to reach 770 million liters next year. A 15 percent blend is expected for roll-out in 2020. Over the next few years, the expected continuation of higher blending rates, coupled with further growth in the size of the diesel pool, is expected to expand biodiesel use at a rapid rate. Malaysia is a net exporter of Palm Methyl Ester Biodiesel.
