In Ukraine, it is proposed to increase the bioethanol content rate in automotive gasolines.

The Committee on Energy and Housing and Utilities of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine proposes to postpone from January 1 to July 1, 2026, penalties for non-compliance with the norm of at least 5% bioethanol content in automotive gasolines, and also to raise the requirements for bioethanol content to at least 7%. The corresponding amendment has been proposed to the draft law on improving the "green" auctions mechanism (registration No. 13219), adopted in the first reading in August of this year, reports Interfax-Ukraine.

"We are postponing the penalties from January 1 so that there are no penalties for six months for not using bioethanol in gasoline. From July 1, the penalties will return, and the bioethanol content must be at least 7%," commented the head of the committee, Andrii Herus.

At the same time, he noted that it will be easier for fuel market participants to import resources from Europe, as more fuel with a bioethanol content higher than 5% is produced there.
