Raízen Bets On Hybrids Instead Of Electric Cars
The CEO of Raízen, Ricardo Mussa, emphasized that in Brazil, hybrids are the most advantageous choice compared to electric cars. In a press conference to discuss the company’s financial results, he highlighted Raízen’s preference for hybrids, which are considered a “smarter” option for the Brazilian market.
Mussa also addressed the federal government’s decision to gradually increase the import tax on electric cars, starting at 10% in 2024 and reaching 35% in July 2026. This measure reinforces Raízen’s bet on hybrids as the best alternative for the national automotive landscape.
Brazil decided to tax the import of electric vehicles again, causing doubts and questions. The measure is accompanied by a strong investment in the production of 2G ethanol, which has proven to be a viable and promising alternative. Raízen, one of the industry’s leading companies, is preparing to meet this growing demand, with the construction of several 2G ethanol plants and two projects already announced. The expectation is that two of these plants will begin operations in 2024, boosting national biofuel production.
Highlight for the largest 2G ethanol plant in the world, the Bonfim Bioenergy Park, under construction in the city of Guariba (SP). With these advances in 2G ethanol production, Brazil seeks to strengthen its energy matrix and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, following a global trend towards energy sustainability.
