Will Philippines Change Fuel-Blending Requirements?

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Ethanol Producers Association of the Philippines (Makati, Philippines) is determined to increase the country's fuel-ethanol blend to 15% by 2023 and 20% by 2025 from the current 10%. The Philippine's biofuel roadmap was scrapped in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and scarcity of local feedstocks, but work has resumed to develop E15 and E20 standards.

Meanwhile, the Philippines' Department of Energy is preparing to revise the biofuel roadmap for biodiesel blends to B5 from the current B2. The Philippines-mandated blends have remained at B2 and E10 since 2009 and 2012, respectively.
