The result
Technical exchanges addressed the role of MTBE and fuel oxygenates within the overall gasoline specification.
Thailand’s gasoline market has evolved alongside changes in fuel specifications and the use of different blending components.
ACFA has engaged with stakeholders in Thailand, sharing scientific and technical information on MTBE and its use as a gasoline component.
These exchanges have addressed the role of fuel oxygenates and the importance of considering individual blending components within the overall gasoline specification.
Why it matters
Fuel-quality decisions can have implications for fuel performance, supply and cost.
Evaluating different fuel components against scientific evidence and the requirements of the overall fuel specification can help inform policy discussions.
