Zimbabwe is to increase ethanol blending in petrol from 5 percent to 20 percent by March 2014, reports said today. It ordered mandatory blending in August, starting with E5 which comprised 95 percent petrol and 5 percent of ethanol. The blending was later increased to 10 percent resulting in a reduction of the fuel import bill by US$20 million. Zimbabwe consumes an average 1. 5 million litres of petrol a day. Ethanol is produced locally at Chisumbanje. The plant is expected to produce 500 million litres of ethanol per year in the next seven years.
