Japan to phase in 10% biofuel blending from 2028

The Japanese government will introduce 10 percent biofuel blends in different parts of the country from 2028 and plans to roll them out nationwide by 2030, Kyodo News reported. The plan is to increase the proportion of biofuel blends to 20% a decade later. The exact location of the introduction will be decided this fall based on existing infrastructure capacity. In response to the rollout of higher percentages of biofuels, the government has asked automakers to introduce vehicles capable of running on 20 percent blends by the early 2030s.
