Ethiopia’s ethanol blending saves $20.5 million in three years.

In Ethiopia, the government says that the country’s ethanol blending policy—at first 5% for the Addis Ababa region, then later boosted to 10% for the region—has saved the country $20.5 million in fuel imports since the policy began in 2008. The country has so far produced 32.86 million liters of ethanol at the Fincha and Metehara sugar factories.
