Indonesian President Joko Widodo is pushing ahead a plan to reduce air pollution, and his nation’s state fuel maker is struggling to keep up.
While the country plans to adopt stricter emissions standards for new vehicles in October 2018, the refiner that supplies 90 percent of the retail fuel market is unlikely to finish upgrading its plants so they can process the cleaner fuel by that time.
