The National Oil Agency (ANP) Held On 06/03 Two Virtual Workshops With Biofuel Producers To Discuss Proposed Changes To ANP Resolution No. 734/2018.

During the event, the preliminary report on regulatory impact analysis (RPAIR) was presented, which is currently open for public consultation. ANP Resolution No. 734/2018 establishes the rules for biofuel production in Brazil, covering both the authorization for productive activity and the granting of operation authorizations for production facilities.

The first workshop, held in the morning, focused on biodiesel and biogas producers, while the second, in the afternoon, was aimed at ethanol producers. The ANP’s Superintendent of Fuel Production, Patrícia Baran, emphasized the event’s importance for improving regulatory processes and the quality of regulations through social participation.

Among the regulatory options proposed by the ANP are requiring a change management study for modifications to the production facility, requiring a fire department inspection certificate for all ethanol producers, and establishing criteria for revoking operation authorization in cases of no biofuel production for more than two years.

The Brazilian Association of Biofuel Producers (APROBIO) presented to the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Carlos Fávaro, a proposal for resuming the growth of the percentage of biodiesel blend in diesel fuel. The entity wants the current percentage of 10% to increase to 12% in March this year, with a gradual increase until March 2024, when it should reach 15%. The proposal was very well received by the minister, who stated that this is a very important sustainable energy matrix and that it will have full support to strengthen the green economy and Brazilian bioeconomy.

A proposal for the creation of a national program to address advanced biofuels, implementing green diesel and bio-kerosene, was also presented to the minister. According to the director of the Aprobio board, Erasmo Carlos Battistella, this is a necessity since Brazil is a signatory to the CORSIA agreement, which will obligate airlines operating internationally on Brazilian routes to offset their emissions by purchasing carbon credits starting in 2027.

The decision on changes to the blend must be approved by the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE), of which the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock is a part. If approved, this measure will be an important step forward in promoting a sustainable energy matrix in the country, generating jobs and opportunities for the population, as well as fostering the production of biofuels.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Indonesia bought US$ 877 million in Brazilian sugar and now threatens national agricultural exports with a plan to cut imports, expand local production, and convert sugarcane into bioethanol by 2028.

Almost five times faster than the Concorde, capable of exceeding 100 km in altitude at more than Mach 10 and taking off from airports without a launch platform, the Aurora from Polaris went from seven demonstrators and 250 test flights to accelerate the race for reusable space planes.

The Paraguay River Waterway, a natural route for transporting soybeans from the Midwest to the Atlantic via the La Plata Basin, is finally moving towards auction after years of being stalled.
