South Africa has set the beginning of October 2015 as the date from which fuel producers will have to blend diesel and petrol with biofuels, the Department of Energy said on Monday.
The government said in August last year that fuel producers would be required to blend a minimum of 5 percent biodiesel in diesel and between 2 and 10 percent of bioethanol in petrol.
The Minister of Energy had now set October 1, 2015 as the date on which the regulations come into operation, department spokesman Johannes Mokobane told Reuters.
