Brazilian Diesel Price Approaches That of Gulf of Mexico, But Is Still Higher Than Russian. Energy Purchase From Venezuela and Electric Vehicle Charging Network.

The Russian diesel has stood out as one of the main fuel import options for Brazil, showing increasing demand in recent years. According to S&P Global, the expectation is that imports of Russian diesel will maintain its strength in the Brazilian market, even in light of the adjustments recently announced by Petrobras.

With the growing demand for imported fuel from Russia, the presence of diseel from Russia in the national market remains prominent, indicating a trend of growth for the coming years. The favorable scenario for Russian diesel in Brazil reflects a landscape of opportunities and challenges for companies in the sector, which need to adapt to the reality of the international market to remain competitive.

Import of Russian Diesel

According to the consultancy, the country imported 12.6 million barrels of diesel in November, of which 9.24 million barrels, equivalent to 73%, were from Russia.

Contract Closed for January Delivery

In the first week of December, 2.64 million barrels of diesel were imported, of which 1.92 million barrels were from the Russian market — there are already contracts closed for January delivery.

Ships Are Waiting

According to S&P Global, traders are bringing loads without defined clients and the ships are waiting for up to a week for buyers at ports, mainly Itaqui (MA) and Suape (PE).

Petrobras reduced the price of diesel by 6.6% for distributors last Friday (12/8). As a result, it virtually eliminated the gap that existed in relation to the international market.

Import Price of Energy From Venezuela

The import price of energy from Venezuela by Âmbar (J&F) far exceeds historical levels. According to Folha, dispatches can reach R$ 1,080 per MWh. The Ministry of Mines and Energy justifies that this cost is lower than standalone generation to serve Roraima.

  • Âmbar claims there will be a reduction of R$ 1 billion in expenses compared to the diesel thermal plants currently in operation.

Stable Oil

The price of oil closed near stability this Monday (12/11), with fears of a Chinese slowdown counterbalancing optimistic prospects for American and European demand.

Global Stocktake (GST)

The ‘phasing out of fossil fuels’ was removed from the draft of the Global Stocktake (GST) – the most anticipated document of the UN Climate Conference (COP28). The conference ends this Tuesday (12/12) and there has not yet been a consensus on the terms of the document.

  • The text released in Dubai on Monday (12/11) urges countries to ‘reduce both the consumption and production of fossil fuels, in a fair, orderly, and equitable manner’.

  • The language was criticized by Minister Marina Silva and, if approved, will be a victory for OPEC and its allies.

  • And a defeat for a coalition of over 80 countries, including the United States and members of the European Union, which is pushing for an agreement that addresses the phasing out of fossil fuels.

Purchase of Electric Vehicle Charging Network

Raízen Power bought the entire electric vehicle charging network from the startup Tupinambá, with 204 alternating current (AC) chargers — and potential to expand to more than 600 additional points ranging from 7.4 to 22 kW of power.
