GERMAN 2010 BIOETHANOL SALES TO RISE STRONGLY
BERLIN, Dec 30 (Reuters) -German bioethanol sales are likely to rise strongly in 2011 largely because increased volumes can be blended in gasoline in the new year, the chief executive of German biofuels industry association VDB said on Thursday.

GERMAN RISE IN GASOLINE BIOFUEL BLEND DELAYED
HAMBURG, Dec 28 (Reuters) - An increase to the amount of biofuel blended into German gasoline will be delayed as more time is needed for technical changes for the new fuel mix, German oil industry association MWV said on Tuesday.
The German government in October approved a rise in the maximum level of bioethanol allowed in blended gasoline to 10 percent from 5 percent previously from Jan. 1, 2011.
