Petronas, Shell, BHP, ExxonMobil and Chevron gets RM1mil each.
KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), Shell, BHP, ExxonMobil and Chevron have been allocated with a start-up fund worth RM1mil each by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) to set up infrastructure for B5 biodiesel blending facilities.
Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Tan Sri Bernard Dompok said the initial incentive given to the five petroleum companies reflected the Government’s intention to fully implement the mandatory B5 biodiesel programme by the middle of next year.
B5 is the blending of 5% biodiesel with 95% fossil fuel diesel. The much delayed B5 programme was initially slotted for launch in January this year.
