Government has set up a team of experts to finalise modalities on full-scale commercial blending of petrol and ethanol produced from sugarcane at Triangle in Chiredzi to ease petrol importation pressures on the fiscus.
The ethanol plant at Triangle resumed production in 2008 following refurbishment and last year produced over a million litres of fuel grade ethanol. Secretary for Energy and Power Development Mr Justin Mupamhanga said the team comprises officials from his ministry, National Oil Company of Zimbabwe and Triangle Limited.
