In Hanoi, state offices must support the commercialization of E5 grade biofuel in the domestic market in order to roll it out nationwide by the end of November.
Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai said the state offices should have support policies to encourage petrol dealers to sell E5 petrol as well as promote the usefulness of bio-fuel to the public. This year, E5 petrol, which contains 5% biodiesel and 95% petroleum diesel, is sold in seven cities and provinces.
Vietnam currently has seven factories producing ethanol, four of which have quality standards to process E5 petrol. Meanwhile, the three other factories need a little more investment to produce quality ethanol for biofuel.
