Vietnam is accelerating its shift towards ethanol-blended gasoline as the Iran war continues to disrupt global energy supplies. The country will begin using E10 gasoline, a blend containing 10% bioethanol, from next month, bringing forward from a previous target of June 1. Fuel prices have surged since the start of the war, with gasoline prices up 50% and diesel prices rising 70%. The directive also urges the introduction of incentives for the production and use of electric vehicles and the expansion of renewable energy.
