Start The Day Focused On Production Development And Local Content, Including E30 Specifications And Preference For Brazilian Suppliers.
The CNPE decided on the suspension of biodiesel imports and the increase of the mandatory biodiesel blend in fossil diesel. This measure aims to strengthen the domestic biofuel market and ensure the sustainability of the national energy sector.
The National Energy Policy Council is responsible for promoting the planning and implementation of energy policies in the country. Its decisions directly impact the energy industry, influencing everything from oil production to the exploration of renewable sources. The CNPE plays a key role in the sustainable development of the Brazilian energy sector.
