In Zimbabwe, the government has pushed mandatory ethanol blending back up to 20% from the previous 15% to reflect increased supply availability of ethanol from Green Fuel. With gas prices currently running at $1.44 per liter, it is hoped that higher ethanol content will help to bring down consumer prices. Green Fuel remains the sole licensed supplier of ethanol for the domestic market although other producers like Triangle have been engaged for spot supplies at times. It is negotiating with the government to be a regular supplier.
