Philippines: Philippines Implements Higher Biodiesel Blend
Starting October 1, 2024, the Philippines moved to a B3 or 3 percent coco-methyl ester (CME) biodiesel mandate, from 2 percent previously. The blend will gradually increase to 4 percent in October 2025, and to 5 percent in October 2026. An estimated 900 million coconuts are needed to produce the 100-120 million liters of CME needed to comply with a 1 percent mandatory increase in CME blend.
