Recently, there has been and there is still debate about the prohibition of selling fossil fuel vehicles. Bill 304/2017 was approved by the Senate’s Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ), surprising the entire fuel production sector, including both the ethanol and oil and gas markets. The approval served as a warning of the need to address emissions throughout the industry.

Brazil may fall behind, and irreversibly so, in the global technological race involving the implementation of Data Centers and investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Much smaller but more agile economies, such as those of Argentina and Paraguay, have taken the lead.

Brazil is generating so much clean energy that the ONS had to implement an unprecedented emergency plan to contain the solar and wind surplus in the grid.

Vaca Muerta can supply gas to Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, and Argentina for up to 124 years, but it requires more than $10 billion in infrastructure to distribute the gas.
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.
