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), a subsidiary of Vietnam National Industry - Energy Group, 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.

A mandatory sale of E10 biofuel is rolled out nationwide today, April 30, 2026, a month earlier than the originally scheduled deadline, amid global energy uncertainties.

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.

VOV.VN - Vietnam’s petroleum enterprises are fully capable of meeting nationwide demand for E10 biofuel, with a total blending capacity of around 965,000 cubic meters per month, according to the Vietnam Petroleum Association (VINPA).

The Ministry of Industry and Trade convened a conference on March 26 to hammer out the details of the Prime Minister’s directive accelerating the switch to E10 RON95 biofuel, with the goal of reviving idle ethanol plants and ramping up domestic output to support the nationwide phase-out of mineral gasoline.

Holding nearly 70% of Vietnam’s fuel market, the Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex) and the Petrovietnam Oil Corporation (PVOIL), have proactively taken measures to enable the sale of E10 RON95 biofuel nationwide ahead of schedule, easing pressure on gasoline imports, strengthening national energy security.

The Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex) is accelerating efforts to expand the rollout of E10RON95 biofuel nationwide, aiming to fully replace mineral pertrol ahead of schedule.

VOV.VN - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has encouraged people and businesses to prioritise electric vehicles, public transport and biofuels in order to reduce reliance on fossil fuels amid sharp fuel market fluctuations.

Although a mandatory roadmap for biofuel blending will take effect from June 1, Vietnam should consider accelerating the use of biofuel-blended petrol in response to increasingly complex geopolitical developments affecting global energy supplies.
