In Thailand, the Bangkok Post reports that the government plans to implement a B10 mandate by early 2019, up from the B7 policy currently in place, in order to help absorb 43% of the palm oil glut on the domestic market that is weighing on prices. The Department of Energy Business launched a B10 trial in locomotives on a 30km stretch, that on top of PTT’s previous B10 road trial, is meant to demonstrate to the public the fuel’s viability and that it won’t cause problems to their vehicles.
