Transition expected to boost sustainable development and reduce emissions
Transition expected to boost sustainable development and reduce emissions
Vietnam will officially begin the nationwide use of E5 and E10 biofuels on 1 June 2026, following a government-approved roadmap developed over several years. The transition is part of the country’s efforts to promote sustainable development and environmental protection. This is reported by Vietnam News Agency (VNA), a partner of TV BRICS.
According to officials, fuel suppliers have largely completed preparations related to infrastructure, storage and distribution, which are expected to ensure stable supply and quality when biofuels are rolled out nationwide.
At the same time, authorities noted the need to further improve technical standards and regulations governing the petroleum sector, particularly those related to storage facilities and infrastructure.
The government emphasised that expanding the use of biofuels will help reduce emissions, support the development of the domestic biofuel industry, create jobs and contribute to socio-economic growth.
With coordinated efforts in policy, infrastructure and market regulation, the transition to E5 and E10 fuels from June 2026 is expected to become a major step in transforming Vietnam’s fuel sector and advancing its environmental objectives.

Ashok MondalNID Director"Signing this Memorandum of Understanding between the National Institute of Design (NID) and TV BRICS marks a pivotal milestone in advancing design diplomacy across the BRICS media space. This moment is especially significant as India hosts the 18th BRICS Summit, following India’s assumption of the BRICS chairship under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The partnership directly embodies his call to elevate Indian design standards through 'Design in India, Design for the World'. Through the global reach and broadcast capabilities of TV BRICS, we are excited to showcase the extraordinary visual storytelling, films, and design research of NID’s Film and Video Communication students to an international audience, while also welcoming and screening film works from BRICS network countries at NID Ahmedabad. This reciprocal exchange strengthens our shared commitment to educational, cultural, and artistic collaboration, fostering sustainable connections among global creative communities. NID Ahmedabad looks forward to leveraging this partnership to deepen cross-cultural dialogue, build international expert networks, and unlock transformative opportunities for filmmakers, researchers, and faculty across member nations" -
