BR Distribuidora Says It Is Correct to Define Reducing Mandatory Biodiesel Blend in Diesel and Talks About Restarting the 75th Biodiesel Auction

BR Distribuidora said in a statement on the last day 15 that it is correct to define the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels – ANP, along with the Ministry of Mines and Energy – MME, to reduce for a certain period the mandatory blend percentage of biodiesel in diesel, which from 12% will be reduced to 10%, as well as to restart the third phase of the 75th Biodiesel Auction. The company said this new measure will supply the entire country in the months of September and October.

BR Distribuidora said that, to maintain supply balance, emergency measures should be evaluated in August.

According to the company, the Covid-19 pandemic was very unpredictable, and to contain the impact on the supply of biodiesel in the previous months, which suffered instability, making flexibility is the best way to reverse the sector’s losses.

It is undeniable that with the gradual reopening of the Brazilian economy, the amount of biodiesel being made available is not fully sufficient to meet the demand for diesel blending.

The third phase of the 75th auction was interrupted by the ANP, and the agency has not yet informed when the auction will resume. According to the company’s description, up to that stage, 1,166,420 cubic meters of biofuel were traded.
