Thai biodiesel blend mandate (B-series, 2024)
B7 (7% FAME)
Thailand's mandatory diesel blend standard was set at B7 (7% fatty acid methyl ester from palm oil) in 2024 as the government balanced domestic CPO price support with fuel cost objectives. The mandate fluctuates based on CPO supply: it has ranged from B3 to B10 in prior years. The Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO) administers the mandate; Bangchak Corporation (SET:BCP) and Thai Oil (SET:TOP) are large biodiesel blenders.
