Mexico Upholds E10 Policy

| |
The Mexican Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) has announced that it will increase the maximum amount of ethanol that can be blended in gas from 5.8% to 10%, excluding the cities of Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Mexico City.
This comes as part of ongoing energy reforms in Mexico and is based on input from stakeholders in the government, private sector, research scientists and social interest groups. In its decision, the CRE recognized the benefits of E10, which will help demonstrate that the ethanol blend can contribute to air quality improvement in the country. The Mexican Institute of Petroleum is also studying the merits of E10 blends.
This moves Mexico toward global standards in the use of renewable and sustainable energy resources.
