📋 Tender Overview
The biofuel mixing process is carried out in accordance with the prescribed ratio and has been tested and evaluated by the authorities to ensure that it fully meets Vietnams current standards and technical regulations. Before being sold, each batch of goods must be sampled, stored and quality checked. Download E10 gasoline will be sold nationwide from June 1. From June 1, E10 biofuel will be sold nationwide, replacing mineral gasoline. This is considered an important step in the strategy of developing biofuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting green growth, diversifying energy sources and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. After the first days of nationwide deployment, in addition to positive signals from the market, the use of E10 is also receiving attention from people and the business community, especially the issue of fuel quality control. Mr. Do Hoang Ha, Head of Sales Department of Petroleum Group Vietnam (Petrolimex) affirms that the quality of petroleum, including biofuel, is being strictly controlled at all stages from mixing, storage, transportation to distribution to the market. The biofuel mixing process is carried out in accordance with the prescribed ratio and has been tested and evaluated by the authorities to ensure that it fully meets Vietnams current technical standards and regulations. Before being sold, each batch of goods must be sampled, stored and tested for quality. At all stages, from wholesale warehouses, transportation vehicles to retail stores, there are very strict control procedures. Each batch of goods exported from the warehouse has documents certifying origin, quality certification and is sealed throughout the transportation process to ensure product quality is not affected before reaching consumers, Mr. Ha said. Also according to him, quality control is not effective. must only be applied when deploying E10 biofuel, which has been implemented for a long time for all petroleum products. This is a mandatory requirement according to the law to ensure the quality of goods before being circulated on the market. In addition to the internal control system of the enterprise, state management agencies also regularly carry out inspections, product quality checks, pump column inspections and supervision of petroleum business activities. Therefore, current biofuel batches must go through many layers of quality control before being supplied to the market. Consumers can be completely assured of fuel quality if petroleum businesses fully and seriously implement current regulations. It is important to synchronously control the entire petroleum business system on the market, not just one enterprise, said a Petrolimex representative. Basic supply is guaranteed. Mr. Tran Phu Binh, Deputy General Director of Military Petroleum Corporation said that the Corporation has put 151 stores nationwide into trading E10 gasoline since mid-May. The enterprise has fully prepared infrastructure from warehouses, upgraded facilities to invested in mixing systems at 3 large warehouses, each warehouse has a mixing capacity of about 1,000 m3/day, total capacity is about 3,000 m3/day, higher than current consumption demand. at.All shipments are regularly sampled and tested before being released to the market to ensure product quality. Regarding the supply of ethanol (E100), this is a key factor in biofuel production. Ethanol demand is about 4,000 - 6,000 m3 per month, while actual usage is about 3,000 m3, so the basic supply is guaranteed. Mr. Binh said that during the implementation process, the market recorded some consumer opinions related to E10 gasoline quality, engine compatibility and fuel consumption. These concerns appeared when deploying E5 RON92 gasoline before. When starting implementation in 2018, there were many concerns about fuel quality, engine durability and consumption, but after actual use, the problems were gradually resolved. Associate Professor, Dr. Dam Hoang Phuc, Director of the Automotive Technical Training Program, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, acknowledged that many users are afraid that the very low calorific value of ethanol (only about 21,000 compared to 31,000 for mineral gasoline) will reduce vehicle capacity. However, because the mixing ratio is only 10%, the total calorific value of E10 gasoline does not actually decrease much. With new vehicle conditions and standard gasoline, the overall fuel consumption only varies within plus or minus 5%. Therefore, users do not need to worry too much about the calorific value issue, said Associate Professor, Dr. Dam Hoang Phuc.
