Philippines: Biofuels Annual

Post forecasts a slight increase in fuel ethanol imports in 2026, driven by modest growth in the fuel pool following the declaration of energy emergency in the Philippines on March 24, 2026. Post forecasts a moderate increase in fuel ethanol production, supported by lower feedstock prices, particularly for molasses. Post forecasts both fuel ethanol and biodiesel consumption to expand in 2026, though at a slower pace, reflecting weaker vehicle sales and elevated fuel prices. The Philippines has no domestic sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production, but efforts to develop the SAF industry gained further traction in 2026.
