Summary

The palm oil industry, especially the biodiesel sector, is facing new setbacks from the European Union (EU) countries. In January 2021, they will impose the latest regulation on renewable energy or Renewable Energi Directive/RED II, one of which clauses discredits Indonesia’s palm oil industry.

The commissioner assessed that the ILUC phenomena existed because of the palm-oil-based biodiesel industry, notoriously known for its massive land clearing.
