What is it about?
This study evaluates the impact of palm biodiesel use on transport CO₂ emissions in Malaysia from 1990 to 2019. It also forecasts the effect of implementing the B10 blending program (10% biodiesel in diesel fuel) on transportation-related CO2 emissions in the country.

Why is it important?
The analysis offers a comprehensive evaluation of how the consumption of palm biodiesel in the transport sector correlates with the levels of CO₂ emissions produced. By examining various factors, it reveals not only the direct effects of palm biodiesel use but also the broader environmental implications tied to its implementation in transportation. This relationship is crucial for understanding sustainable practices and developing strategies to reduce carbon footprints in the industry. Overall, the insights gained underscore the importance of carefully considering biofuel sources and their long-term impacts on greenhouse gas emissions.
Perspectives
While the rate of reduction in CO2 emissions due to biofuel use is not as significant as the rate of increase in CO2 emissions in a country, the use of more environmentally friendly fuels is critical. A small reduction in CO2 emissions in the atmosphere is still important for our planet, especially when considering the environmental concerns associated with biofuel production.
