ANP has approved the holding of a public consultation for 45 days, followed by a public hearing, on a draft resolution that revises ANP Resolution No. 777/2019, which regulates the possibility of commercializing biodiesel imports for the purpose of meeting the mandatory blending of the biofuel in diesel oil, mentioned in Law No. 13,033, of September 24, 2014. The consultation complies with the Resolution of the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE) No. 14/2020, which establishes that all biodiesel necessary to meet the mandatory percentage of blending with diesel oil should be contracted through a commercialization model that would replace the public auctions held so far by the ANP.
