The availability of biodiesel is seen as a critical support for mining operations in Indonesia, crucial for mitigating global pressures.

This situation affects not just the tin industry, but also copper, aluminum, and nickel sectors.
Aryo noted that countries like India, Pakistan, and various African nations are already experiencing production difficulties due to diesel scarcity. The Indonesian biodiesel program, initiated under President Joko Widodo and continued by Prabowo Subianto, is helping the mining industry cope with these challenges.
