Description
Raised the mandatory inclusion rate for palm oil-based diesel into regular transport diesel to 10 percent nationwide.
Notes
On 1 March 2018, Colombias mandated blend limit for biofuel in petrol and diesel has been raised in a bid to curb CO2 emissions in the countrys cities and address oversupply problems that threaten to disrupt production of biofuels and their respective feedstock. The required mix of palm oil-based diesel in regular diesel has been raised to 10 percent and applies throughout the country. Previously, mandates ranged from 2 percent to 9 percent, depending on the region.
