ANP Considers That, To Be Advantageous, Ethanol Should Have a Price Limit of 70% of Petroleum Derivatives at Gas Stations

ANP, the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels, conducted a survey showing that only in the states of Minas Gerais, Goiás, and Mato Grosso does the price of ethanol compete with gasoline. The petroleum derivative is sold on average for 67.31%, 67.37%, and 68.87% of the gasoline price in the respective states.

See Other News of the Day:

To obtain these results, it was considered that ethanol, whether derived from sugarcane or corn, should have a price limit at gas stations of 70% of petroleum derivatives to be considered advantageous.

The state of São Paulo, the largest producer of ethanol in the country, lost its more competitive ethanol position against gasoline last week, and now the parity is 71.19%.

Among the average prices of the surveyed gas stations in the country, the ratio between the average prices of ethanol and gasoline is 70.55%, which does not favor biofuels.

ANP:

The National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels is the federal agency responsible for regulating the petroleum and natural gas industries and biofuels in Brazil. Linked to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, it is a special federal agency that implements national policy for the sector, focusing on ensuring fuel supply and defending consumer interests.

The agency operates “from the well to the gas station”, meaning it regulates over 110,000 companies, in activities ranging from oil and natural gas exploration in Brazil’s sedimentary basins to procedures to ensure the quality of fuels sold to the final consumer.
