I indonesien som har mkt eget fossilolja och som för ovanlighetens skull ger bidrag för att sänka bränslepriserna(!) har inhemska palmoljediesel blivit dyrare än vanlig deisel medan inhemska bioetanol fortfarande är konkurresnkraftigt.
Nu inför de bidrag för palmoljedieseln för att unvika att palmoljedieselproducenter går i kk.

The government wants to make the use of biofuel mandatory from this year to ensure the survival of the fledgling industry, an aim made more urgent since biofuel became more expensive than crude oil-based fuel after oil prices dived more than 70 percent from their peak in July last year.
"We will only pay the subsidy if biofuel prices are higher than crude oil-based fuels," Evita Legowo, director general of oil and gas at the energy ministry told Reuters.
Under the plan, if prices of biofuel products are higher than crude oil-based fuels, the government will pay subsidy of 1,000 rupiah ($0.08) per litre on average.
"At the moment, palm-based biodiesel is more expensive than crude oil-based diesel, but prices of bioethanol are not," Legowo said.
Bioethanol is made using both cassava and cane molasses.
Palm biofuel and bioethanol compete with cheap domestic petrol diesel in Indonesia, one of the lowest priced in Asia because of generous government subsidies.
