Source : reuters.com

Indonesia state oil firm Pertamina has cut the biofuel blend in diesel fuel to 1 percent from 2.5% as rising palm oil prices and lack of incentives have cut margins, a company official said on Tuesday. Since the company introduced Biosolar in May 2006, it has gradually cut its biodiesel content from an initial 5 percent to 2.5% in 2007 for the same reason.

Pertamina has cut the biodiesel blend to 1% since April 11, Djaelani Sutomo, the firm's vice-president of marketing and trading, told Reuters by phone.
