Ensus welcomed Rachel Maclean MP, the Minister responsible for Transport together with Ben Houchen, the Teesside Mayor and their local constituency MP Jacob Young to its plant today for the launch of the E10 consultation.

Great to hear the Minister and politicians be so positive about the green fuel E10 and the benefits its introduction will bring.

The government is consulting on the introduction of E10 - a lower carbon fuel - at filling stations across the UK.

While there is no data or evidence from countries which have already introduced this fuel that older cars aren’t compatible with E10, we hope the APPG Inquiry will explore this issue further so that E10 can be very quickly introduced in the UK.

The APPG for British Bioethanol has today launched an Inquiry into Introducing E10 in the UK. E10 is a blend of fuel containing ten percent bioethanol already sold in many other developed countries including Germany, Belgium, France, Finland and the US.

This Inquiry follows announcements last year from two of the UK’s largest bioethanol producers Vivergo and Ensus - to cease and pause production due to insufficient demand in the UK where only E5 - a blend of fuel containing five percent bioethanol - is available....
