Green Diesel Production is Tested at the Paraná Refinery (Repar). Petrobras Claims Regulatory Opening to Compete in the Market with Biodiesel Producers

Petrobras is betting on selling its HVO diesel at a more competitive price than the biodiesel currently added to fossil diesel for sale at gas stations. HVO is a ‘green’ version of Petrobras diesel, produced from vegetable oils.

“Due to the (HVO production) process being more complex, there is a competitive advantage in raw materials, especially if we consider carbon capture, which is higher than that of biodiesel, throughout the cycle,” said Sandro Barreto, general marketing manager of the state company, during a virtual event held by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV).

According to Petrobras, due to the adopted technology, the state company can choose a greater variety of raw materials, including cheaper ones. The company tested HVO production at its Paraná refinery (Repar).

Fuel War: BR and Shell Bring Down the Fit Group After Distributor Harassed Resellers with Approved MP That Dismantles Brand Loyalty at Gas Stations

Provisional Measure 1063, from President Jair Bolsonaro, which allows branded gas stations to sell gasoline from different distributors, was barely approved and has already sparked a war among fuel distributors’ cartels! Fit Group (a distributor linked to the former Manguinhos Refinery, now operating under the trade name Refit) attempted to take advantage of the MP and ended up being prohibited from harassing, enticing, offering, and distributing products to gas stations contractually linked to the Shell brand, from Raízen, and BR Distribuidora, which now goes by Vibra Energia.

The order for the Shell gas station was issued by Judge Miguel Ferrari Junior, from the 43rd Court of the Central Civil Forum of São Paulo, in a preliminary decision dated August 27. In case of non-compliance by the companies belonging to Fit, a fine of R$ 10 thousand will be applied. Appeals are allowed.

In Rio, in addition to prohibiting Fit from enticing gas stations, the court also ordered the company to refrain from using BR’s visual identity in its sales materials to gas stations, under penalty of a daily fine of 1 million reais. Fit, which is part of the same group that controls Refit (formerly Manguinhos), declined to comment on the matter.
