The implementation of the biofuel use roadmap is a global trend, consistent with our countrys practical conditions from the requirements of sustainable development, ensuring energy security, environmental protection and implementing Vietnams international commitments on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, E10 gasoline has been piloted in some localities for nearly a year and initially no significant difference compared to the use of mineral gasoline has been recorded. The transformation roadmap is also built by the authorities in a step-by-step manner, with a thorough impact assessment, not sudden or hasty. In the world, there are many countries using gasoline E10, E15 and some places use E20. However, after a period of pilot use to apply nationwide according to the roadmap, consumers and even manufacturers still have concerns, reservations and have different opinions about this type of fuel. Thats the impact on the engine; economic efficiency, consumption level when used; How are consumers rights guaranteed if negative aspects arise when using E10 gasoline... All of this content will be analyzed, evaluated, and discussed at the discussion Is using E10 gasoline something to worry about? organized by the Government Electronic Information Portal today with the participation of other guests who are representatives of state management agencies, associations, and technical experts. Attending the discussion are the following guests:1. Mr. Dao Duy Anh, Deputy Director of the Department of Innovation, Green Transformation and Industrial Promotion (Ministry of Industry and Trade)2. Mr. Bui Ngoc Bao, Chairman of Vietnam Petroleum Association3. Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Huu Tuyen - Director of the Center for Research on Dynamic Resources and Autonomous Vehicles, Hanoi University of Science and Technology 4. Mr. Lo Hai Nam, Head of Technical Department of Vietnam Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers (VAMM)5. Mr. Do Van Tuan, Chairman of Vietnam Biofuels Association First, I would like to ask Mr. Dao Duy Anh. As a representative of a state management agency, could you please provide general information about the roadmap for applying the ratio of mixing biofuels with traditional fuels? Why is the use of mixed fuels considered a global trend and how has it been applied by countries around the world? What lessons can be drawn that Vietnam can apply from experiences in developing and using biofuels? Why should we use biofuel? Download Mr. Dao Duy Anh, Deputy Director of the Department of Innovation, Green Transformation and Industrial Promotion, Ministry of Industry and Trade - Photo: VGP/Giang ThanhDeputy Director of the Department of Innovation, Green Transformation and Industrial Promotion Dao Duy Anh: Since 2007, the Prime Minister has signed and issued Decision No. 177/2007/QD-TTg approving the Project Development of biofuels to 2015, vision to 2015 2025, regulates issues related to biofuels from our production and use of biofuels and evaluates the impacts of biofuels on their intended uses. Based on that biofuel project, in 2012, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 53/2012 dated November 22, 2012 stipulating the roadmap for applying the mixing ratio between biofuel and traditional fuel in Vietnam. This is the roadmap to introduce a fuel mixture between mineral gasoline and biofuel for use in gasoline engines. According to that roadmap, after a period of testing, officially from December 1, 2015, E5 gasoline will be mixed and distributed nationwide. Two years later, on December 1, 2017, E10 gasoline was officially distributed nationwide. After that, we implemented a pilot and officially from January 1, 2018, all types of gasoline called RON 92 were mixed with 5% ethanol to become E5 RON 92 gasoline and distributed nationwide. However, we have not yet been able to deploy the next phase, which is E10 gasoline. In the context that mineral fuel resources are finite resources, increasingly depleted through the exploitation process, at the same time, with the goal of building a green economy and circular economy towards sustainable development of the country, we have set many goals and orientations forreduce emissions, as well as implement international commitments to bring net emissions to zero by mid-century. Another goal is that we also need to develop socio-economics, especially output for agricultural products as well as reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Therefore, the Government realizes that it must continue to promote the use of biofuels to achieve the goals I just mentioned. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has begun to develop a new roadmap since the end of 2024. To implement the new roadmap, we do it in very detailed, specific, sequential steps. The first is to evaluate the implementation of Decision 53 of the Prime Minister, from which to draw out the causes of success as we
