On the last 28th, the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) approved the results of the 71st Biodiesel Auction. According to the chief economist of ABIOVE (Brazilian Association of Vegetable Oil Industries), Daniel Furlan Amaral, “The result of L71 is an important step that confirms the security of the schedule for increasing the blend set by the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE) so that gradually the biodiesel blend reaches 15% (B15) by 2023.”

What is expected over the months of March and April is the delivery of over 1.1 million m³ of biodiesel to distributors, totaling about R$ 3.4 billion in transactions.
Amaral emphasized by saying that “the stability of prices throughout the two months of deliveries, March and April 2020, is the result of the solid structure of the biodiesel commercialization system through public auctions. This model generates strong competition among participants and high transparency, resulting in better prices for the final consumer.”
The forecast is that biodiesel production in 2020 will reach 6.9 million m³, 17% more than last year, which should generate a financial movement of around R$ 20 billion.
