E10 biofuel gets off to a promising start

After one month of nationwide sales, E10 biofuel has shown encouraging early results, with strong public support for Viatnam's clean energy transition and growing consumer confidence in the quality of the new fuel.

According to Petrolimex, the country's largest fuel distributor, the company supplied nearly 500,000 cubic metres of E10 biofuel during the first month of implementation, equivalent to its average monthly gasoline sales in the first five months of 2026.

Initial results indicate rising demand for E10, a smooth transition across the retail network and a stable supply without major market disruptions.

To secure sufficient ethanol for blending, Petrolimex prepared its sourcing plans well in advance and maintained close coordination with suppliers to monitor supply, prices and logistics. The company also diversified procurement through both domestic and imported ethanol, using sea and road transport to improve flexibility and reduce dependence on any single supplier.

Petrolimex reviewed storage, transportation and blending capacity across its network while strengthening coordination throughout the supply chain to ensure stable, safe and quality-compliant E10 distribution.
