Zimbabwe flipflops on slashing E20 blending mandate due to ethanol supply challenges

In Zimbabwe, the country’s energy regulator announced a cut to 10% ethanol blending from the previous 20% due to challenges in sourcing ethanol as heavy rains keep Green Fuels from harvesting the cane required for ethanol production, but just hours later reversed the decision and kept the mandate at 20%. A statement from the regulator says that the government held discussions with ethanol suppliers and were together able to come up with sufficient supplies in order to keep the higher blending mandate intact.
