Green Fuel is discussing with government to increase the ratio of ethanol to petroleum from 10 percent to 20 percent, an official said on Tuesday.At the moment the company uses the ratio of 10 percent ethanol to 90 percent petroleum.
The company has a US$600 million ethanol production and processing plant in Chisumbanje Estates near Chiredzi in Manicaland Province.
Green Fuel hit the streets this month, selling ethanol blended fuel at $1,36 per litre which is lower than current fuel prices which are averaging US$1,45.
Green Fuel spokesperson Ms Lillian Muungani said the increase in ratio would be demand orientated.
