Colombia: Colombia Will Not Resume E10 Blend Mandate in 2021

On March 31, 2021, the Government of Colombia issued a resolution to decrease the ethanol blend mandate from 10 percent (E10) to 4 percent (E4) starting on April 1, 2021, then gradually returning to E10 by September 2021. Colombia increased the blend mandate to E7 and E8 in July and August. On August 12, 2021, a new Government resolution decreased the ethanol blend mandate to E6 for a 3-month period starting in September 2021. The new measure will increase the blend mandate to E8 in December and to E10 in January 2022. Colombia attributes these necessary measures to changes in the local supply of sugar-based ethanol, the international price of corn-based ethanol, the impacts of COVID-19 on the economy and fuel demand.
