Common diesel and S-10 record the highest average prices in 2024 in Paraná, R$6,20 and R$6,27, according to the Edenred Ticket Log Price Index.
In 2024, the price of common diesel and S-10 prices soared, reaching average values of R$6,20 and R$6,27, respectively, in the state of Paraná. This data was revealed by the Edenred Ticket Log Price Index, a survey that tracks the behavior of transaction prices at gas stations. The highlight is the growing increase observed in the price of S-10 diesel, which refers to a purer and less polluting fuel. This has generated expectations among drivers and business owners concerned about costs operational and environmental.
With the growing demand for sustainable solutions in the mining sector, the role of S-10 diesel has been highlighted in extractive industry, contributing to cleaner and more efficient operations. This change did not happen overnight; since 2023, the transition to cleaner fuels has been a priority. Operators in the mineral exploration are increasingly inclined to adopt practices that minimize environmental impact. The choice of S-10 diesel reflects a commitment to the energy transition and to reducing pollutant emissions, especially in a context where sustainability has become crucial.
The influence of diesel on the mining scenario
At the beginning of 2023, the outlook for the fuel market was strongly focused on reducing sulfur levels. Such progress was seen as essential for mining, a sector that requires robust and innovative solutions. According to the Edenred report presented in March 2024, this change brought significant reductions in machine maintenance costs and contributed to better performance in the industry.
- Gasoline prices soar to second highest in 2 years under Lula's government, leaving drivers outraged and the economy on alert
- Fuel price gap: Pressure on Petrobras, rise in the dollar and impacts on the Brazilian economy.

- Gasoline and ethanol close 2024 with high prices, says Edenred Ticket Log.
Several mining companies have already incorporated S-10 diesel into their operational strategies to increase productivity and reduce environmental damage. According to the National Petroleum Agency (ANP), which monitored the use of fuels throughout 2024, more than 45% of operations in the mining sector began using the less polluting fuel. This marks a vital shift toward a more sustainable future.
The adoption of S-10 diesel is expected to bring additional benefits not only to mining, but also to other industrial sectors and the urban environment. Companies are increasingly interested in ensuring a more sustainable future through the use of cleaner fuels and conscious operational practices.
Diesel price increase at the end of the year
At the end of December, the price of regular diesel reached an average of R$6,20, representing an increase of 0,81% compared to the end of the previous month. S-10 diesel was also not far behind, closing the period at R$6,27, with an increase of 0,97%. These averages represent the highest prices of 2024 for both fuels. Like gasoline and ethanol, the prices of regular diesel and S-10 increased at the end of the year due to economic and seasonal factors. Among the most influential factors, the variations in the dollar and the traditional greater demand for transportation during this period, which put pressure on the prices of both types of diesel.
