Brazil ranks second in world’s production of biodiesel and is world’s dominant sugarcane ethanol producer, the secretary of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels at the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) , José Mauro Coelho said. According to him, Brazil’s transportation and energy mix is one of world’s cleanes. About 25% of the fuel the country uses comes from renewable sources and the goal is to reach 2030 with a 30% share. “This is unique in the world.” The Fuel of the Future program will be partly responsible for this increase. Launched in April this year, it aims to increase the share of renewable and low-emission fuels, and further develop national vehicle technologies. “Brazil has greatly advanced in Flex Fuel vehicles. In this energy transition period, we must further develop this vehicle technology.” Another goal is to develop new biofuels: According to Coelho, the biofuel market was a reality in cargo transportation due to the use of biodiesel.
