By 2040, The Total Circulation of Diesel and Gasoline Cars Will Be Prohibited, Including Other Fossil Fuels. The Market for Biofuels and Renewables Will Enter a New Historic Level If Approved by the CMA

The Senate’s Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ) approved the ban on diesel and gasoline vehicles in Brazil this Wednesday (12), which could signify an important step for the renewable energy market in the country and reduced carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, which is the main objective of the bill by Senator Ciro Nogueira (PP-PI). This measure could undermine the plans of the oil industry and ventures expected beyond these dates.

As described in PLS 304/2017, the existing technologies already available in the market allow for the replacement of vehicles that run on gasoline and diesel, which are the largest global polluters that, according to research, maximize global warming.

Biofuels are not on the ban list because they are already established in Brazil’s economy. Electric cars are the big trend of our era, with global growth and well-accepted, including here.

Some More Exceptions

Despite this advancement, the project provides for very specific exceptions for some types of fossil fuel-powered vehicles:

  • Classic Cars
  • Official and Diplomatic Vehicles
  • Cars of Foreign Visitors

Ciro Nogueira endorses that this is the natural path that other countries have already taken, “The United Kingdom and France want to ban the sale of fossil fuel-powered vehicles by 2040, India by 2030, and Norway as early as 2025,” he concludes.
