BIOFUELS
Starting June 1, 2026, Vietnam will mandate E10 gasoline blending nationwide, affecting 75 million motorcycles and 5.5 million cars. Domestic production from six ethanol plants covers 40-50% of E100 demand, with imports from the US and Brazil.
Petrolimex has piloted E10 sales and proposed tax exemptions on E100 to lower costs. The Ministry of Industry and Trade is reviewing policies and standards to ensure smooth implementation and support for ethanol producers, while awaiting government guidance on tax adjustments.
