Sudan: Ethanol-blended petrol introduced

Faced with fuel security issues following the independence of South Sudan, Sudan has started using 10% ethanol mixed into petrol and plans to expand production for export. “Ethanol has been formally recognised as a fuel in Sudan,” Kenana Sugar Company managing director Mohamed El Mardi El Tegani told the Brazil-Arab News Agency during a conference on food security in the Arab world on 20 May in Khartoum.
