HÀ NỘI — The Petrovietnam Refining and Petrochemical Corporation (BSR), a member of the Vietnam National Industry – Energy Group (Petrovietnam), will produce and distribute between 80,000 and 100,000 cu.m of E10RON95 biofuel petrol per month to meet growing market demand for E10 fuel during May 2026 and months to come.

Dung Quất Refinery, run by BSR, is currently operating at optimal capacity to produce petroleum products, including RON95 petrol blended with fuel ethanol to create E10RON95 products for customers, according to Lê Hải Tuấn, Deputy Director of Dung Quất Refinery.

The refinery is currently operating at 75–80 per cent of capacity, with output expected to increase to around 90 per cent in June and eventually reach full capacity in the following months.

Notably, ethanol supplies from the Dung Quất biofuel plant are directly connected to BSR’s blending system and refinery infrastructure, forming an integrated value chain for biofuel production.

Within this chain, Vietnam Central Biofuels Joint Stock Company (BSR-BF) plays the role of ensuring ethanol supply from the Dung Quất biofuel plant, while BSR handles the receipt of ethanol and its blending with base petrol to produce E10 biofuel meeting current quality standards before distribution to the market.

Previously, the blending of approximately 18,000 cu.m of E10RON95 petrol was completed and certified as meeting current quality standards.

Alongside increasing E10 production capacity, BSR is also diversifying its distribution methods through both road and sea transport to facilitate deliveries for customers.

On May 20, the company successfully delivered its first 12,000-cu.m shipment of E10 biofuel petrol by sea to distributor Thành Lê import-export corporation.

Tuấn said the expansion of E10 exports via maritime transport would not only boost consumption volumes but also demonstrated BSR’s ability to quickly adapt to growing demand for environmentally friendly biofuels. — VNA/VNS
