ALL AGRI #Ethanol Production

"This initiative is not just about improving fuel quality; it's a significant step towards environmental protection and reducing the overall cost of fuel for Ugandans," said Nankabirwa. Under the new policy, fuel dealers must initially blend 5% ethanol into petrol, with plans to gradually increase the proportion to 20%, depending on local supply capacity. Fuel blending involves combining conventional fossil fuels, such as petrol or diesel, with renewable additives like ethanol or biodiesel.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s latest weekly ethanol report shows a notable rebound for the biofuel sector, with production up sharply, inventories contracting modestly, and export activity accelerating.
