The E10 fuel, comprising 95-octane motor gasoline with up to 10 percent bio-components, primarily bioethanol, will gradually replace the current 95 octane motor gasoline, also known as E5, which contains only up to 5 percent bioethanol.
Poland's Climate Ministry has previously assured that most gasoline cars, especially those manufactured post-2010, can use E10 fuel without requiring any modifications.
Owners of older vehicles, particularly those manufactured before 2010, are advised to verify if their cars can run on E10 gasoline. The ministry has provided a search engine at https://e10.klimat.gov.pl/ for this purpose.
All fuel dispensers and refueling guns at gas stations in Poland will be labeled with stickers and graphic signs indicating E10 gasoline, ensuring drivers are well-informed about the availability of the new fuel.
The Ministry of Climate and Environment highlights the environmental benefits of bioethanol in gasoline, citing its role in reducing CO2 emissions, improving air quality, and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
E10 fuel is not new to the global stage, having been adopted in various regions, including Europe, the United States, and Australia. It has also been the reference fuel for emissions and performance tests on new cars since 2016.
