JAKARTA, Jan 3 (Reuters) - Indonesia Energy and Mineral Resources Minister signed a decree on Friday designating 15.6 million [kilolitres](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) (KL) of [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) for 2025 distribution, while [providing](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) the [industry](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) until the end of next month to adjust to the higher level of the fuel in the mix.
+
Indonesia, the world's largest exporter of palm oil, had actually planned to [introduce](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) the obligatory requirement of 40% palm oil fuel in [biodiesel](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) on Jan. 1, up from 35% now.
+
"The ministerial regulation has actually been signed," the minister Bahlil [Lahadalia](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) told press reporters, including the government was working to increase the compulsory [biodiesel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) mix to 50% next year.
+
Eniya Listiani Dewi, a ministry senior official, said [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) manufacturers and fuel [retailers](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) will be offered up until Feb. 28 to adapt to the B40 mix. She said the delay was because of linked to subsidies for the fuel.
+
The [non-implementation](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) on Jan. 1. had resulted in a 2.6% drop in the Malaysian palm oil standard contract on Thursday. On Friday, it recovered by around 1%.
+
Fuel sellers and biodiesel producers had said they were not able to draw up contracts for biodiesel distribution without the decree.
+
The [biodiesel](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) allowance for 2025 suggested an increase from 2024's estimated biodiesel intake of 12.98 KL, [ministry](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) information revealed on Friday.
+
Of the total [allotment](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) for this year, 7.55 million KL is for the general public service commitment (PSO), which covers sectors such as public transport, whose sales will be [subsidised](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) by the [nation's palm](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) oil fund.
+
"The remaining allocations will be cost market value. The non-PSO allotment is set at 8.07 million KL," Bahlil stated, adding the fund could not subsidise the cost space between the palm oil and nonrenewable fuel sources for the total allowance.
+
BPDPKS, the firm in charge of gathering and managing the palm oil funds, [approximated](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) in November B40 would need a 68% aid boost.
+
To assist finance that, Indonesia plans to increase its export levy for [unrefined palm](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) oil (CPO) to 10% from the existing 7.5%, but for that to happen, another main guideline is needed.
