According to Evandro, “There is global concern about the need to reduce emissions, but what is defensible about Brazilian gasoline is its composition with ethanol. Brazilian gasoline only stands up because it has 27% ethanol, which makes it cleaner compared to other gasolines around the world.”
In the current scenario, ethanol is not able to meet Brazilian demand to replace gasoline. The sector produced 32 billion liters of ethanol in 2019. The expectation is that, with the implementation of RenovaBio, by 2030 the production will be 50 billion liters. But even so, the amount will not be enough to completely displace the demand for gasoline.
According to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), the consumption of type C gasoline in Brazil in 2019 was 38.2 billion liters, a decrease of 0.56% compared to 38.3 billion in the previous year. The consumption of ethanol was 22.5 billion liters, an increase of 16.2% compared to 19.3 billion liters in 2018.
