In Uganda, Business Insider Africa reported that starting January next year, Uganda will require all fuel distributors to blend locally produced ethanol into the petrol sold across the country.
The development was announced by Energy Minister Ruth Nankabirwa, who revealed that the blending process will be spearheaded by the Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC).
The move is aimed at reducing the country’s $2 billion annual petroleum import bill and promoting cleaner energy alternatives, according to Reuters.
