Biodiesel
Assumption of
biodiesel
High concentration of
mixed biodiesel such as
BDF 100 % and B20 will
be promoted, whereas
low-concentration mixed
BDF such as B5 will be
introduced extensively
Approximately one-third of the total
demand for light diesel oil will be
supplied by BDF, eco-diesel, and
BTL (biomass–liquid). Domestic
vegetable oil will be used to
produce BDF and eco-diesel.
Domestic wastes and forest biomass
will be used for producing BTL
The total demand for light diesel oil
will be supplied by BDF, eco-diesel,
and BTL. Fulfill the demand by
maximizing the utilization of domestic
biomass resources and imports from
Asian countries
