📋 Tender Overview
According to the plan, in the third quarter of 2026, Dung Quat Biofuel Plant will convert production materials from cassava to corn, continue to increase the average operating capacity to 70-80%, and test operation at 125% of design capacity. Download Ethanol production at Dung Quat Biofuel Plant (BSR-BF). Mr. Nguyen Viet Thang, General Director of Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Joint Stock Company (BSR), said that in the first 7 months of 2026, BSR operated Dung Quat Oil Refinery at an average of 124% of design capacity, meeting the increasing demand of the domestic petroleum market. According to Mr. Thang, the Biofuel Plants Dung Quat University (BSR-BF) gradually increasing capacity will help BSR be more proactive in domestic ethanol sources, gradually reduce dependence on imported sources, optimize mixing costs and ensure a stable supply of E10 gasoline. Mr. Pham Van Vuong, Director of BSR-BF, said that the unit has implemented a plan to restore production and business, and at the same time coordinate with business cooperation partners to urgently maintain and bring Dung Quat Biofuel Plant back into operation to meet the needs of customers. to meet the markets demand for ethanol. In parallel with the production recovery process, BSR-BF has built an innovation program including 14 groups of solutions to remove technological bottlenecks, increase available capacity, improve fermentation performance, increase product and by-product value, take advantage of low carbon, reduce production costs and improve business efficiency. According to the plan, in the third quarter of 2026, BSR-BF will convert production materials from cassava to corn, continuing to increase the average operating capacity to 70% - 80%, and testing operation at 125% of design capacity after fully meeting the technical conditions. Further, the business aims to increase available capacity to 150%, thereby increasing revenue, shortening debt repayment time, quickly recovering equity and improving long-term competitiveness. In the fourth quarter of 2026, BSR-BF continues to deploy solutions to increase available capacity, and cooperate with universities, research institutes and technology partners to expand the value chain from the factory; Researching the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using Ethanol-to-Jet (ETJ) technology, and producing low-carbon methanol from biological carbon dioxide (CO2) sources. It is expected to have an additional ethanol factory from the first quarter of 2028. Currently, the country has 3 active ethanol factories, including Dung Quat Biofuel Factory, Quang Nam Alcohol Factory and Dong Nai Alcohol Factory, with a total design capacity. 830 m3/day, equivalent to about 24,900 m3/month and about 277,000 m3/year. Among them, Dung Quat Biofuel Plant has the largest design capacity, reaching 330 m3/day; Next is Quang Nam Alcohol Factory with 300 m3/day and Dong Nai Alcohol Factory with 200 m3/day. In June 2026 alone, three factories produced a total of 20,875.4 m3 of ethanol, reaching about 83.8% of monthly design capacity. Along with the above three factories, Mr. Tran Quang Kien, Deputy General Director of Quang Ngai Sugar Joint Stock Company, said that the An Khe Ethanol Factory project has a total investment of more than 1,700 billion VND and is expected to go into commercial production in the quarter. I/2028. The factory is designed with a capacity of 200,000 liters of anhydrous ethanol/day, equivalent to 200 m3/day; Main products are food alcohol and fuel ethanol. Up to now, the enterprise has fully prepared the conditions to implement the project, from raw materials, technology, finance to human resources.
