Vietnam Mandates E10 Biofuel Nationwide While EU States Seek Carbon Cost Relief
Vietnam officially introduced E10 gasoline nationwide on June 1, 2026, marking the culmination of a decade-long policy aimed at green energy transition and safeguarding national energy security. This move positions Vietnam among over 60 countries utilizing biofuel-blended gasoline, reflecting a consistent policy trajectory since 2012.
In the European Union, six member states—the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Greece, and Slovakia—have urged the EU to protect their heavy industries from carbon costs. They contend that the bloc's climate policy must adapt to geopolitical crises and "exceptionally high" energy prices, advocating for an increase in permits for industries to emit carbon under the EU's emissions trading system.
In the U.S., a new clean energy political action committee (PAC) has emerged as a significant force, spending over $1 million to help defeat a prominent Republican opponent of renewable energy in Texas. The PAC, funded by renewable energy developers and philanthropists, has $15 million for its activities and intends to back candidates from either party who support clean energy, signaling a direct and substantial political engagement from the sector.
The Bottom Line
Global renewable energy policy is currently characterized by both significant national implementations, such as Vietnam's biofuel mandate, and ongoing political friction, as seen in the EU's carbon cost debate and the increasing direct political involvement of clean energy advocates in the U.S.
