Marine Diesel Was Not Designed for Use in Motor Vehicles and May Cause Harm to Consumers

The change in ANP Resolution, Resolution No. 903/2022, which establishes the specifications for fuels for marine use and their marketing restrictions, was accepted today (3/2) by the ANP Board and will be included in the Agency’s Regulatory Agenda. As part of the planned change, marine diesel oil will need to be colored.

The idea aims to prevent the illegal sale of marine diesel oil, clearly distinguishing it from on-road S10 diesel oil. The ANP has heard that some companies are marketing marine fuel as if it were on-road due to the price difference, giving them an unfair advantage.

Specifications of Marine Diesel Oil

Marine diesel, which can contain up to 0.5% sulfur (5,000 mg/kg of sulfur), was not designed for use in motor vehicles and can cause engine problems and damage to the after-treatment system. As a result, it may lead to greater emissions of gases caused by the combustion of the fuel.

To this end, the ANP has begun to study the feasibility of coloring marine diesel. The Agency’s Technical Research and Analysis Center (CPT) conducted the research, and its findings suggested the use of a violet dye.

Refer to ANP Resolution No. 903/2022 for more information on this topic. The ANP may initiate the process of this review, which will include new consultations and a public hearing, once included in the Regulatory Agenda.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

End of an era: Nissan announces its departure from the country with the closure of a historic factory after 7 years producing the Frontier, negotiates operations with 2 groups, and integrates a global strategy that has already reorganized 36 markets, in Córdoba, Argentina.

Belgium surprises the world by repurchasing 15 Gepard anti-aircraft systems, equipped with twin cannons and radar, in a package to reinforce Ukraine’s defense against drones and missiles.

Brazilian professor disappears for 5 years and ‘rises from the ashes’ with an emotional reunion with his 70-year-old mother after being identified on a highway; case exposes 81,000 missing people in Brazil

The Brazilian city of the crooked buildings, which is being “swallowed” by the sea, receives more than R$ 20 million after a R$ 276.6 million package for 214 cities, with transfers of R$ 2.5 million per tourist resort.

A 15-meter electric ferry has already transported over 41,000 passengers in Norway, consumes up to eight times less energy than diesel vessels, and the Hyke F-15 shows how urban water transport can become a real, silent, and low-cost alternative for coastal cities.

Brazil has never generated so much clean energy — and has never charged so much for it: while solar and wind farms break records, the electricity bill rises by up to 23% and R$ 52 billion in charges are paid by 35 million families who don’t understand why electricity has become so expensive.
