Billy Rautenbach is tangled in a spat over land use and is said to be ready to move a multimillion ethanol project to Zambia.

Zimbabwe’s government has urged the Constitutional Court to dismiss concerns about its mandatory addition of ethanol to petrol.

Zimbabwe’s government is accused of favouring sole licencee Billy Rautenbach by raising fuel’s ethanol content.

A constitutional court case will test the legality of mandatory fuel blending in Zimbabwe.

A road accident which killed 24 people has raised questions about the safety of transporting the highly flammable fuel in Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe has passed laws ordering that imported petrol be blended with 10% of locally produced ethanol.

R2-billion has been set aside for an ethanol plant to help South Africa’s budding biofuels sector, which could reduce its reliance on imported fuel.

One-quarter of all the maize and other grain crops grown in the US now ends up as biofuel in cars rather than being used to feed people.
