Asosiasi Produsen Biofuel Indonesia

What Asosiasi Produsen Biofuel Indonesia does

Asosiasi Produsen Biofuel Indonesia (APROBI), also known as the Indonesia Biofuel Producer Association, is a non-profit industry association established in 2006 that represents Indonesian biodiesel and bioethanol producers. Headquartered in Jakarta at Multivision Tower in Kuningan, the association's 25 member companies include major Indonesian palm oil and biofuel producers such as PT Wilmar Nabati Indonesia, PT Musim Mas, PT Tunas Baru Lampung, and PT SMART TBK. APROBI's primary function is to serve as the unified industry voice in policy advocacy, particularly supporting the implementation of Indonesia's mandatory biodiesel blending programs (B30 and B40), which require Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) blended with conventional diesel fuel using palm oil-based feedstock.

APROBI's core activities include coordinating between member companies and the Government of Indonesia on biofuel policy, sustainability standards, and energy self-sufficiency programs. The association operates the triennial Palm Biodiesel Conference in collaboration with the Malaysian Biodiesel Association and Thai Biodiesel Producer Association, with the 6th edition scheduled for September 2026 in Bali. APROBI also publishes a quarterly bulletin covering industry news, data, and policy developments. The association is currently supporting the development of bio-jet fuel (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) derived from palm oil as part of Indonesia's aviation decarbonization strategy and continues to coordinate with BPDPKS (Palm Oil Plantation Fund) on industry financing programs.

As a membership-based organization, APROBI is funded through member company dues and operates with 11-50 staff. The association is governed by a Board of Directors (Period 2023-2026) with functional divisions spanning sustainability, supply chain, legal and institutional relations, research and technology, and promotion and communication. APROBI coordinates with PT Pertamina for the distribution of biodiesel through Indonesia's mandatory blending programs and engages with regional and international forums to promote Indonesian biofuels in global markets.

Direct peers

• Clean Fuels Alliance America: U.S. national trade association for biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel producers. Closest functional peer globally: represents member producers in policy advocacy, technical standards, and market development, and runs major industry events such as the National Biodiesel Conference.
• Brazilian Biodiesel and Biokerosene Union (UBRABIO): Brazilian biodiesel and biojet fuel producers' association, advocating for the country's biodiesel mandate and SAF development. Comparable mission and structure — a producer-led trade body engaging government on blending policy and sustainability.
• Thai Biodiesel Producer Association (TBPA): Thailand's national biodiesel producers' association and the third co-organizer of the Palm Biodiesel Conference. Directly comparable role representing Thai biodiesel producers in policy and sustainability discussions, with palm oil feedstock overlap.
• Malaysian Biodiesel Association (MBA): National trade association for Malaysia's biodiesel producers, and a co-organizer with APROBI of the triennial Palm Biodiesel Conference. Directly comparable in mission (biodiesel industry advocacy, government engagement on blending mandates) and member profile (palm oil-based FAME producers).
• Renewable Fuels Association (RFA): U.S. national trade association for ethanol producers, focused on the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and E10/E15 policy. Comparable in mandate to APROBI's bioethanol advocacy work, and in running industry conferences and producing market data for members.
• European Biodiesel Board (EBB): European industry association for biodiesel producers, focused on EU policy advocacy including RED II/III and ILUC considerations. Directly comparable as a national-aggregate producer association engaged in heavy regulatory and sustainability policy work.

Others

• Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC): Malaysian statutory body promoting the palm oil industry globally. Not a producer association, but directly comparable as a palm-oil-focused industry body with overlapping interests in biofuel feedstock markets and sustainability policy that affect APROBI members.
• Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB): Global multi-stakeholder sustainability certification body for biofuels and biomaterials. Comparable touchpoint for APROBI because sustainability certification is a key member service and policy lever for Indonesian palm-based biodiesel producers.
• Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI): National association of Indonesian palm oil producers and exporters. Not a biofuel body, but represents the upstream feedstock base for APROBI members and is a natural counterpart on palm oil sustainability, pricing, and BPDPKS funding matters.

Broad incumbents

• German Bioenergy Association (Bundesverband Bioenergie, BBE): German umbrella association covering biofuels (biodiesel, bioethanol), biogas, and solid biomass. Broader scope than APROBI but comparable in representing biofuel producers in policy and standards work in a major European market.
