THE Department of Energy (DoE) on Friday said it would step up monitoring of compliance with the 3-percent coconut methyl ester (CME) blend for all diesel fuels sold nationwide.

On Oct. 1, the DoE started implementing the 3-percent blend fuel to reduce the country's dependence on imported fuels and to support local biodiesel. This is in compliance with the Biofuels Act of 2006 that mandates that all liquid fuels for motors and engines sold in the Philippines be blended with biofuels.
