Ukrainian biofuel blending mandate proposal nearly ready to submit to Parliament

In the Ukraine, a proposal for a legal framework to support the establishment of an ethanol and biodiesel market nationally will soon be presented to Parliament. The State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving developed a proposed blending mandate based on energy content for ethanol of 3.4% by July 1, 2018 and 4.8% by July 1, 2019 while for biodiesel it would be 2.7% by July 1, 2018. The head of the agency estimates the country has the capacity to produce 1 million metric tons of biofuels per year.
