New routes for biodiesel production in the country is extremely positive and favors competitiveness in the biofuel sector, points out the IBP.
The Brazilian Institute of Petroleum and Gas (IBP) believes that the decision of the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE) to include new technological routes for the production of biodiesel in the country is extremely positive for the biofuel sector, for the public and for society. energy security.
The CNPE's decision that green diesel and the renewable portion of co-processing diesel are eligible for compliance with the mandatory blending of biodiesel with fossil diesel for society promotes the additional use of Brazil's renewable biomass, provides logistical optimization, enables competition between different products and provides benefits in terms of price, quality and supply to consumers.
The National Energy Policy and the National Biofuels Policy (Renovabio) both include renewable products developed through new technological routes.
According to the National Energy Policy and the National Biofuels Policy (Renovabio), the inclusion of renewable products from new technological routes is stratified and a low carbon economy is encouraged.
- New government law threatens renewable energy sector in Brazil, potentially affecting 1,8 THOUSAND jobs and causing losses of R$200 MILLION per year
- The end of solar panels? With the price of a cell phone, a new residential wind turbine generates 150 kWh of energy for your home, rain or shine, has a useful life of 20 years and promises to revolutionize energy generation in the world
- Giant batteries revolutionize solar and wind energy, promising unprecedented efficiency and making electricity bills cheaper: the future of energy is closer than you think!
- Ceará enters into a billion-dollar partnership with a Chinese company to revolutionize renewable energy in Brazil, betting on green hydrogen with the expectation of generating almost 1 jobs
As for maintaining the blend of biodiesel in diesel at the current 10% until March 2023, the Institute believes that this is essential for the predictability of agents in organizing their logistical operations to guarantee supply, since it is necessary to contract biodiesel in advance before the start of each two calendar month period.
This transition period is also important for the ANP to complete its revision of the specifications for biodiesel from the transesterification route, in order to guarantee the technical viability and adaptation to the technological evolution of the engines before the use of higher levels of the product in the mandatory blend. .
The IBP believes that the CNPE's decision will strengthen Brazil's global leadership in the development of biofuels and in the energy transition. The CNPE's decision still needs to be approved by the President of the Republic.
