Thailand to phase out subsidies on biodiesel and E10-E85 blends

December 9, 2019 |

In Thailand, the Bangkok Post newspaper reports that Energy Fund Administration Institute plans to stop subsidizing E85 sometime in 2020 after a decade of trying to get motors to use the fuel. The agency is also planning to roll back subsidies on 10% and 20% ethanol blends as well as biodiesel. With the subsidies in place, E85 is about 25% cheaper than E10 while E20 is about 10% cheaper than E10. Only 1.28 million liters of E85 was sold per day on average this year through October compared to 6.46 million liters of E20 daily and nearly 25 million liters of two different octanes of E10.
