Why Europe is in focus

The European market is drawing attention from biodiesel players worldwide. In September 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron sent a letter urging the European Union to raise the biodiesel blending cap in diesel from B7 to B10. The debate matters to producers outside Europe, including palm-oil-based biodiesel producers, because a change in the blending cap could affect demand. A full review is in the news report Macron desak Uni Eropa naikkan campuran biodiesel B7 ke B10 (in Indonesian).

Conferences like this are typically where industry players exchange views on policy, feedstock supply and demand outlook. The event's name signals a broad scope covering biofuels, ethanol and feedstocks, making it relevant for observers who want an overall picture of the biofuel market rather than biodiesel alone.

A comparison point for Indonesia

Indonesia has run a B50 mandate since 1 July 2026 and across all fuel stations since 1 October 2026, with B60 under study for 2027. The gap in blending levels between Indonesia and Europe makes international forums like this relevant for those tracking policy, feedstock supply and global market direction.
