Thailand to Increase Biodiesel Blend to 7% to Reduce Diesel Usage

Thailand's Energy Minister announced that the country will increase the biodiesel blend ratio from 5% to 7% starting March 14. According to Jin10, this move aims to reduce the reliance on diesel fuel. The decision is part of Thailand's broader strategy to promote renewable energy sources and decrease carbon emissions. The increased blend ratio is expected to support local palm oil producers, as biodiesel is primarily derived from palm oil in Thailand. This initiative aligns with the government's efforts to enhance energy security and sustainability.
