Biofuels blending mandate

Nigeria’s National Biofuels Policy and Incentives, adopted in 2007, introduced targets for blending biofuels into transport fuels, including a 10% ethanol blend (E10) in gasoline and a 20% biodiesel blend (B20) in diesel by 2020. The policy aims to reduce dependence on imported petroleum products and promote domestic biofuel production from agricultural feedstocks such as cassava and sugarcane. However, implementation of the ethanol blending programme was suspended shortly after introduction due to supply and monitoring challenges, and nationwide blending has remained limited.
