Thai PM: to promote alternative fuels, continue nuclear study

25 Dec 08

The Thai government is planning to promote the use of alternative fuel, not only to reduce dependency on petroleum fuel but to also help bolster demand for agricultural products, newly appointed Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Thursday.  The government will initially emphasize the use of E-10 gasohol, gasoline blended with 10% ethanol, and E-20 gasohol, before promoting a higher content of ethanol in gasoline, Abhisit told Dow Jones Newswires.  "We would like to send a clear message (to vehicle manufacturers and motorists) that we will initially focus on promoting E-10 and E-20 to the public. Once this target is achieved, then we will look forward to promoting E- 85, which is our next step," said Abhisit.
