The first pump dispensing bioethanol (E85) in Norway opened at Statoil's Storo service station in Oslo.
The fuel consists of 85% ethanol and 15% petrol. The mixture can only be used in flexi-fuel vehicles that can run on both E85 and petrol. There are currently few of these vehicles on the Norwegian market.
Earlier this year, the government granted tax relief on bioethanol fuel when the ethanol is the main component of the mixture, so-called E85. Car dealers are expected to commence import of new flexi-fuel cars now that the fuel is available on the Norwegian market.
