Government confirms E10 to roll-out in summer Print 25th February 2021 The Department for Transport has confirmed that E10 will become the standard petrol grade available on UK forecourts from September 2021. The introduction of E10 fuel, which is a mixture of petrol and ethanol made from materials including low-grade grains, sugars and waste wood, will boost the government’s ambitions to reach net-zero by 2050. The introduction of E10 on UK forecourts will start in September 2021 to align with the change over from summer to winter fuel grades. E5 petrol will still be available to consumers as the super grade. Transport secretary, Grant Shapps, said: We’re going further and faster than ever to cut emissions from our roads, cleaning up our air as we accelerate towards a zero-emission transport future.
