AGRICULTURAL DEPUTIES ASK THE SENATE TO APPROVE FUEL OF THE FUTURE WITHOUT CHANGES

The president of FPBio, Alceu Moreira, urges the government to maintain the Fuel of the Future bill unchanged in the Senate, highlighting its vast approval in the Chamber with 429 votes. The bill mandates a 13% biodiesel blend, extendable to 25%, and introduces programs for biomethane and sustainable aviation fuel. Ministers advocate for swift approval, anticipating investments of R$200 billion. Despite Petrobras’ opposition, the bill emphasizes a national biodiesel policy, distinct from green diesel inclusion. Industry leaders stress biodiesel’s economic and food security benefits, cautioning against its replacement with HVO. Businessman Battistella aims to boost international biofuel markets, emphasizing Brazil’s pivotal role in decarbonization.
