PhD. Dao Duy Anh, Deputy Director of the Department of Innovation, Green Transformation and Industrial Promotion (Ministry of Industry and Trade), said that to prepare for the conversion roadmap to E10 biofuel, the Ministry conducted a comprehensive review and assessment, thereby clearly identifying the reasons why the previous implementation of E5 did not meet expectations.

In the context of a potentially volatile world energy market, proactive diversification is important. supply, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and gradually switching to cleaner energy sources are inevitable requirements. E10 biofuel, with a higher ethanol blend ratio, is expected to not only contribute to reducing emissions but also create motivation for the domestic biofuel production value chain. Sharing at the seminar, Mr. Mai Tuan Dat, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Refining and Petrochemical Corporation (BSR) affirmed that E10 biofuel needs to be seen not only from an environmental perspective, but more broadly as an important part of the strategy to ensure national energy security. especially during a period when petroleum supplies were affected by conflicts in the Middle East. In addition, biofuels like E10 also create a domestic value chain, from raw materials, ethanol production, mixing to distribution. That helps improve the economys self-reliance, while supporting the goal of shifting energy towards a greener, more sustainable direction. Besides, ethanol production is very suitable for the geographical advantages of Vietnam and neighboring countries. With that advantage, our country can proactively produce ethanol domestically or import it from neighboring countries such as Thailand and the Philippines to ensure sources for mixing biofuels.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade identified 3 core factors to ensure successful implementation of biofuel in the coming period. First of all, it is necessary to regularly update fuel requirements in accordance with engine development. Gasoline engine technology is constantly improving, causing technical fuel standards to change over time. For example, from January 1, 2025, new vehicles manufactured and assembled in Vietnam must meet Euro 5 emission standards, so the fuel used must also be compatible. Choosing and using appropriate base gasoline is a key factor to ensure operational efficiency and compliance with regulations. Along with that, it is necessary to strengthen synchronous coordination between ministries, branches, localities and relevant parties to promptly remove problems for businesses in the entire value chain - from production, mixing, circulation to distribution. Through appropriate mechanisms, policies and management tools, the goal is to bring biofuel products to consumers at the most reasonable cost. Also according to Dr. Dao Duy Anh, especially important is communication work. It is necessary to promote transparent and scientific communication so that people can understand correctly, thereby creating consensus in society. Also according to Mr. Dao Duy Anh, in the immediate future, large enterprises such as Petrolimex and PV OIL, two enterprises accounting for 75% of Vietnams petroleum market share, are ready to deploy large-scale distribution of E10 gasoline right in April according to the Prime Ministers direction. Currently, as of April 16, PV OIL has announced that there are 418/988 gas stations nationwide distributing E10 gasoline. Petrolimex is distributing in Ho Chi Minh City and Quang Ngai, and will expand in Quang Ninh and Hai Phong in the coming days to continue expanding its distribution network. To soon deploy the biofuel roadmap, Mr. Dao Duy Anh believes that it is necessary to remove difficulties that businesses are facing from the supply of petroleum in general, as well as ethanol. Along with that, enhance the mixing capacity of businesses. Currently, there are 12 businesses that have invested in mixing systems, but only 3 businesses are qualified to be licensed to mix E10 gasoline. In addition, it is necessary to immediately remove some technical regulations on biofuel so that businesses can immediately switch from mineral gasoline to biofuel. Anh ThoRefer to TP.
