Direct Sale of Ethanol from Mills Is Supported by Lawmakers Who Promise to Stimulate Competition and Curb the Increase in Gasoline Prices at Fuel Stations
Provisional Measure 1063/21, approved in August by the Government, went through a public hearing by the Mines and Energy Commission yesterday (09/21), which counted with the support of deputies. MP 1063/21 authorizes ethanol mills to sell fuel directly to gas stations, without going through distributors, as was previously required.
According to the executive director of the Brazilian Association of Independent and Free Fuel Resellers (Abrilivre), Rodrigo Zingales, the provisional measure will contribute to reducing fuel prices in Brazil.
Furthermore, Feplana projects a decrease in price and states that there will be no loss in quality. According to Alexande Andrade Lima, president of the Federation of Sugarcane Planters of Brazil (Feplana), the price of biofuel should be lower, especially in mills located in major urban centers.
According to Lima, “The expectation is that the price of ethanol will drop, especially in the industrial units that are close to the major consumer centers.” He also asserts that he guarantees the quality of the biofuel that will go from the mill directly to the gas stations.
“The sector is well monitored by the ANP. There is no chance of losing quality at the pumps, as there will be information about the mill that supplied the product, and this will ensure quality. The sector is very responsible when it comes to product provenance,” he points out.
