With direct sale of ethanol, Feplana projects a drop in price and says there will be no loss in quality. According to the president of the entity, the price of biofuel should be lower, especially in plants located in large centers

The provisional measure approved last week by the Government, which guarantees the direct sale of ethanol from plants to gas stations, can generate benefits for the consumer. This statement was made by Alexande Andrade Lima, president of the Federation of Cane Planters in Brazil (Feplana).

Direct sales will reduce the value and maintain the quality of the biofuel

According to Lima, "The expectation is that the price of ethanol will come down, mainly in the industrial units that are close to the big consumer centers". He also claims that he guarantees the quality of the biofuel that will leave the plant straight to the service stations.

“The sector is well supervised by the ANP. There is no chance of losing quality at the station pumps, as there will be information from the plant that made the product available and this will guarantee quality. The sector is very responsible when it comes to the origin of the product”, he points out.

The president of Feplana participated in the signing ceremony for the MP for the direct sale of ethanol. He says that he did not have access to the content of the measure, but he believes that it is in line with what the productive sector expects.

“There will be no loss of PIS/Confins or federal tax collection. It is important to remember that the producer will not be obliged to carry out direct sales, and the distributors will continue to operate normally. However, I see a better margin for those who sell directly, because when you remove a member from this chain, you end up reducing the cost”, he concludes.

Brazilian ethanol has attracted the attention of Volkswagen, which aspires to transform Brazil into a center for the development of cars with internal combustion engines.

Brazilian ethanol is a cheaper and more viable alternative compared to electric cars and is gaining prominence internationally and from the multinational Volkswagen for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Following in the footsteps of the Japanese Toyota, Volkswagen claims that it will adopt ethanol as the best way to electrify the domestic vehicle market and is considering producing vehicles with a flex-fuel hybrid engine.

The interest in our fuel attracted the attention, for example, of Volkswagen, which aspires to transform Brazil into a center for the development of cars with internal combustion engines. The automaker believes that the electric car, in Brazil, would not have the same adhesion and consumption as in Europe. Because, in addition to being expensive, we produce ethanol, considered a biofuel that can very well meet the objective of reducing the emission of pollutants and CO2”, comments Romio.

According to calculations by the Sugarcane Industry Union (Única), considering the complete cycle, which includes sugarcane planting and harvesting, processing, transport and distribution, in addition to use in cars, a vehicle fueled exclusively with Brazilian gasoline ( with 27% anhydrous alcohol) emits 131 g of CO2 per kilometer, compared to just 37 g of CO2/km, if fully fueled with sugarcane ethanol, a value lower than that of a battery model in Europe, which, powered by the matrix region's current energy source, emits 54 g of CO2/km.
