Description
Postponed the rise in mandatory blending of regular transport diesel with biodiesel that was originally scheduled for June 2019.
Notes
The rise in mandatory blending of regular transport diesel with biodiesel from 10 percent to 11 percent that was originally scheduled for June 2019 (see MPPU Dec.18) has been postponed to the second half of the year, according to local media. Reportedly, the delay was triggered by unexpected complications faced in automotive test with blends containing 15 percent of biodiesel.
