The Fiji Government through the Department of Energy have established 9 Renewable Diesel plants in the islands of Koro, Cicia, Rotuma, Gau, Lakeba, Vanuabalavu, Rabi, Moala and Matuku. The plants produce and sell renewable diesel produced from blending of regular diesel with refined coconut oil as fuel for the rural maritime communities.

The aim is to provide the communities with affordable and environmentally friendly fuels which reduces carbon emissions. While most of the plants were badly affected by TC Winston, Lakeba and Rabi biofuel is expected to recommence operation soon.
