With The Whole Week of Hydrated Ethanol in Free Fall at Distribution Bases, The Biofuel Closed With A Positive Price at The Mills

Yesterday, (30/03) was an important day to see if hydrated ethanol had come out of the bottom of the well. After continuous drops, the price of ethanol reacted at the mills and at the distributors. Ethanol price evaporates at the mills and distributors burn off stock, on the last day 20.

In Ribeirão Preto, Safras & Mercado saw the liter of the biofuel being traded around R$ 2.80, with tax and without freight, R$ 0.07 above Friday. Until last Monday, on the weekly average, the price of ethanol dropped at the mills by 15.84% (R$ 2.3071, free), according to Cepea.

At the distributors in Paulínia (SP), there was an increase of 1.65% and the liter, at R$ 2.3405, reducing the accumulated retraction for the month to 18.86%.

The stock liquidation movement was quite evident and may have ceased, with distributors returning to purchases even with the low circulation of the population due to state and municipal restrictions to combat the pandemic.

Competitiveness of Hydrated Ethanol Prices Is Still Not Good

Even with gasoline prices dropping at the pumps last week, according to ANP, Maurício Muruci from Safras believes that the competitiveness of hydrated ethanol is still not good.

The gap of gasoline to oil reached R$ 0.21 per liter today, informs the survey by Abicom, which brings together fuel importers.

The constant downward movement of distributor prices also reached the gas stations.

In addition to the scenario influenced by oil, which interrupted the increases with the unblocking of the ship in the Suez Canal, the Central-South crop is already offering more ethanol, although officially the cycle starts on April 1.

Raízen of The Shell Group Wants to Build Three Ethanol Production Plants Made from Bagasse and Sugarcane Straw

Raízen, the global giant producing ethanol together with Shell, intends to build three more cellulosic ethanol plants — or second generation. The good news was announced by businessman Rubens Ometto of Cosan, last Monday (15/03)

The technology for producing cellulosic ethanol emerged from a partnership between Shell and the Canadian company Logen, specialized in biotechnology. In the last crop (2019/20), the Piracicaba unit produced 226 liters of ethanol for each ton of dry biomass in Paulínia.
