In Order to Avoid Unnecessary Costs, Senator from PP/RS Presents Bill That Excludes the Need for Intermediaries, Allowing Direct Sale of Ethanol by Sugarcane Suppliers

On Wednesday (28), Senator Luis Carlos Heinze (PP/RS) presented a bill that authorizes the direct sale of ethanol by sugarcane suppliers, cooperatives, and associations of rural producers, excluding the need for intermediaries.

Limit of 30% of the Equivalent to the Volume of Sugarcane

The senator’s bill will be valid for fueling vehicles, tractors, agricultural aircraft, and machines of cooperatives, associates, and affiliated members. The proposal limits the purchase of the biofuel to 30% of the equivalent to the volume of sugarcane delivered for personal consumption. The bill also allows cooperatives and associations to maintain ethanol distributors solely for supply to their associates.

Drivers Replace Ethanol With CNG

With rising fuel prices, drivers see natural vehicle gas (CNG) as a cost-effective fuel that provides better efficiency and is significantly cheaper.

According to experts, the new fuel can reduce fuel costs by up to 50% compared to conventional fuels, such as ethanol, for example. Just in the state of Pernambuco, in May 2021, the number of conversions per month for using CNG was the highest in 15 years, with over 1,000 conversions and a total exceeding 4,700 in the first six months. Now, the state has over 70,000 vehicles running on natural vehicle gas.

Brazil May Miss the Second Wave of Ethanol

Ethanol has made rapid advancements and is very important in the fight against global warming, as it reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 70% compared to a fossil fuel.

Although the scenario is favorable for ethanol produced from sugarcane and corn, there is a chance that Brazil may miss out on this growth due to the “Custo Brasil.”

According to Luis Carlos Júnior Jorge, president of the National Center of Sugar-Energy and Biofuels Industries, the country will be left out due to the country’s costs and also claims that we are not competitive concerning the tax burden, but there is still time for everything to be resolved, and for Brazil’s base industry to be part of the great ethanol market that is coming.
