Group 1 - Vietnam plans to fully switch to ethanol-blended gasoline starting next year, potentially increasing imports of ethanol and corn from the United States [1][3] - The proposal submitted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade involves using E10, a mixture of gasoline with up to 10% bioethanol, replacing the current RON95 and RON92 unleaded gasoline [3] - This transition is seen as a quick and effective solution to reduce the trade surplus with the U.S., which was $123 billion last year, making Vietnam one of the countries with the highest trade deficits globally [3] Group 2 - Vietnam consumes less than 30 million tons of petroleum products annually and has committed to increasing imports of other U.S. products, including aircraft, liquefied natural gas, crude oil, and agricultural products [3] - In the first seven months of this year, Vietnam's imports from the U.S. grew by 22.7% to $10.54 billion, although fuel and corn were not specifically listed in the import data [3] - The country currently has six ethanol plants with a total annual capacity of 600,000 cubic meters, which can meet about 40% of the E10 gasoline production demand [3] Group 3 - The use of E10 gasoline is expected to help reduce carbon emissions and align with Vietnam's net-zero goals, as pledged during the COP26 climate conference in November 2021, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050 [3]
