In Reuters news below, Prof. Dhakal argued that Indonesia’s biodiesel and Electric Vehicle policies could work in tandem until next two decades for climate change, energy security and economic imperatives. EV penetration in light duty vehicle segment will not be overnight and take time. Biodiesel still makes strong sense for heavy-duty and freight transportation as a low-carbon option. EVs cannot meaningfully contribute to climate change mitigation immediately since almost 85% of Indonesia’s electricity supply comes from fossil fuel and yet, the future of clean electricity is not rosy. However, Indonesia MUST push EVs ahead as priority with consistent policies unlike some big economy like India that went back-and-forth in the past

The new is carried by global media in many countries.
