Petrobras’ New Fuel Promises to Enable the Use of Higher Levels of Renewables in New Diesel Combustion Engines

Petrobras informed the market in a relevant fact this Thursday (29) that it completed this September the first sale of R5 Diesel produced by the company for commercial testing. The production of the fuel reached a total of 1,500 m³ at the Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery (Repar), located in Curitiba.

The Fuel Produced from Co-Processing of Vegetable Oils Also Known as Green Diesel

R5 Diesel is produced from the co-processing of vegetable oils, in this case, refined soybean oil, along with petroleum diesel. The fuel leaves the refinery with 95% mineral diesel (derived from petroleum) and 5% renewable diesel, also known as green diesel. Distributors will add 10% of ester biodiesel, as established by current legislation.

A novelty in the marketed batch was the issuance of statements for the distributors who acquired the product, indicating the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, calculated according to the volume purchased by the distributors. In the case of R5 Diesel, it potentially prevents the emission of one ton of CO2 equivalent for every approximately 9,500 liters, compared to 100% fossil fuel.
