Thailand plans B20, E20 biofuel push and solar subsidy

Thailand will promote wider use of B20 diesel and E20 petrol blends and offer THB50,000 per household for rooftop solar, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said on November 14, 2026. B20 is running about THB10 a litre cheaper than conventional diesel after excise tax cuts, and the government is considering cutting gasohol 91 pumps in favour of E20 over the longer term.
