Downstream oil in brief: why is the UK introducing E10 gasoline?
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The UK's move to replace E5 with E10 as the standard gasoline grade will benefit fuel suppliers as it will help them meet their biofuel blending obligations. In contrast, it is likely to have a negative impact on consumers who will see a small increase in pump prices and a slight decrease in vehicle efficiency. Over the course of the next decade, we expect E10 to become the standard grade of gasoline in most European countries to meet increasingly stringent environmental legislation. However, those markets with energy-based targets will be less reliant on bioethanol to meet the target and will have a greater focus on HVO.
