The Petrovietnam Refining and Petrochemical Corporation (BSR) will produce and distribute between 80,000 and 100,000 cubic metres of E10RON95 biofuel petrol per month to meet growing market demand for E10 fuel during May 2026 and months to come.

Major automakers including Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Ford and Mercedes-Benz have confirmed that most modern vehicles currently operating in Vietnam are compatible with E10 biofuel, easing concerns ahead of the fuel’s nationwide rollout from June 1.

The Agency for Domestic Market Surveillance and Development has instructed provincial and municipal departments of industry and trade to strengthen supervision and inspections related to the nationwide rollout of E10 biofuel petrol.

Many fuel stations in Ho Chi Minh City have started replacing traditional gasoline with E10, marking a major step in Vietnam’s green energy roadmap.

Ahead of schedule, several major fuel distributors have begun rolling out E10 biofuel across their retail networks and are preparing to supply the market beyond their own systems.

Petrovietnam Oil Corporation (PVOIL) has completed all necessary technical infrastructure, supply arrangements, and workforce preparation to officially distribute E10RON95 biofuel gasoline across its entire nationwide system starting May 15.

When popularizing E10 gasoline, management agencies aim to maintain reasonable price levels that do not increase citizens' living costs. A suitable price gap compared to conventional fuel is expected to help boost biofuel consumption.

After a prolonged period of suspension, the Dung Quat bio-ethanol plant resumed operations in early 2026 and has produced its first batch of E100 ethanol.

The negative impact of E10 gasoline on engine performance is negligible. Since testing began in Vietnam, leaders from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, PVOIL, and Petrolimex have pioneered its use and recorded no unusual effects.

Fuel distributors in the central province of Ha Tinh are entering the final stage of preparations to roll out E10 biofuel, completing upgrades to infrastructure and supply systems to ensure a smooth market transition without disruptions.

E10 fuel offers major savings and environmental benefits, but consumer skepticism continues to slow adoption in Vietnam.

The Dung Quat Biofuel Plant is accelerating production and is expected to reach full capacity by mid-April, supplying ethanol for nationwide E10RON95 biofuel blending.

As demand for blending E10 RON95 biofuel continues to rise, ensuring a stable supply of input materials such as cassava and maize for ethanol production remains a significant challenge, requiring coordinated and comprehensive solutions.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has proposed that, starting April 30, 2026, all gasoline sold nationwide must be blended into E10 biofuel for use in gasoline-powered engines.

From this April, fuel enterprises will begin expanding the sale of E10 gasoline at filling stations nationwide, gradually replacing mineral gasoline.

E10 gasoline is expected to be rolled out throughout the country beginning in April, replacing mineral gasoline. Tens of millions of motorbikes and cars will shift to use the biofuel.

Major petroleum enterprises all say they have the infrastructure for blending and distributing E10 gasoline, a new type of gasoline expected to be widely sold nationwide starting from early April.

Vietnam is moving quickly toward nationwide adoption of E10 biofuel, but securing sufficient ethanol supply remains a critical challenge as the country seeks to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and strengthen energy security.

Vietnam is moving closer to a nationwide transition to E10 biofuel, with the fuel expected to be widely available as early as April 2026, ahead of the official mandate.
