In October, the volume of ethanol sold by producers from Brazil’s Center-South region reached 3.02 billion liters, representing the highest monthly volume in 2020. Of the total, 358.02 million liters were destined for the foreign market, an increase of 57.35% compared to October 2019. More than two billion liters of ethanol were destined for the domestic market: sales of anhydrous ethanol reached 792.67 million liters in October, an increase of 5.09% compared to the volume sold in October 2019 (754.27 million liters). In turn, sales of hydrous ethanol reached 1.87 billion liters, which represents the lowest drop of the year (a decrease of 12.75% compared to the last harvest). “Fuel consumption has been being recovered in the last 2 months. The higher volume sold in October indicates a greater number of CBios issued by producers in November, reinforcing the goal to reduce carbon emissions set by the Brazilian government for this year”, said the technical director of UNICA, Antônio de Pádua Rodrigues. Trades of alcohol destined for non-fuel purposes remained on an upward trend, reaching 113.26 million liters in October.
