MPOB In Talks With Ground Vehicle Operators, Biodiesel Suppliers To Expand B20 Use At KLIA - KPK

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 29 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) is in discussions with ground vehicle operators and B20 biodiesel suppliers to blend B20 as part of efforts to expand its use at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

The Ministry of Plantation and Commodities (KPK) said it also intends to extend the B20 initiative to ground service vehicles at other airports, such as the Senai International Airport in Johor.

“The expansion of B20 use for ground service vehicles at these airports depends on the results of the pilot project at KLIA, approval of funding, and the availability of infrastructure and logistics at the airports involved,” it said in a written reply on the Dewan Rakyat website today.

The ministry was replying to Datuk Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid (Kuala Kangsar) regarding KPK’s plans to expand the use of the B20 palm biodiesel blend at all airports across Malaysia.
