Harare - The Zimbabwean government has with effect from November 30 2013 introduced mandatory blending of anhydrous ethanol and unleaded petrol, at levels of 15% ethanol and 85% unleaded petrol.
The increase of fuel blending ratio to 15% (E15) follows the introduction of E10 two months ago by the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (Zera).
In a statement, Zera chief executive Gloria Magombo said the quality specification of E15 fuel conforms to official Zimbabwean standards.
She added that fuel importers, wholesalers and retailers are required to comply with this.
“Wholesalers and retailers have up to 10 days to clear their current stock after which all licensees are expected to comply with the regulations,” Magombo said.
She added that Zera will scale up monitoring and surveillance of all licensees in the petroleum sector to ensure compliance with these regulations and fuel quality standards.
“Zera will also continue to monitor fuel prices,” said Magombo.
