The European Union has endorsed the draft energy proposal by removing palm oil as a basis for sustainable fuels (Biofuel) in 2021. This is done because it is considered oil palm to be the cause of deforestation which increases the concentration of greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. However, Indonesia considers that the European Union policy is detrimental to Indonesia and shows injustice in the mechanism of palm oil trade. It is certainly inseparable from the condition of Indonesia which is one of countries with the largest palm oil producer in the world. Indonesia has also a significant export value of palm oil. This paper will analyze Indonesias commitments related to sustainable palm oil management starting from the normative concept to the regulations made, as well as on the implementation aspects in several areas. This article can provide argumentative reasons for Indonesia to urge the European Union to accept Palm as a sustainable energy source. The results of this article show that Indonesia already has a normative framework for sustainable management of palm oil, but in the implementation aspect there are still some weaknesses that need to be evaluated.
