Guatemala will begin incorporating 10% ethanol into its gasoline, known as E10, altering the current price calculation method. The Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) anticipates this change will lead to lower prices for consumers, potentially reducing the cost per gallon by between Q0.50 and Q1.50. This price reduction is contingent on favorable conditions in the international market. The ethanol blend aims to modify the existing pricing structure for gasoline. The move signifies a shift towards biofuel integration within the country’s fuel supply. Ultimately, the change hopes to benefit Guatemalan consumers through reduced fuel costs.
