As of August 3, the gasoline produced in Brazil must meet the new specifications established by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), in Resolution No. 807/2020, published in January this year. According to the agency, the new specifications improve fuel quality, providing greater energy efficiency, improving vehicle autonomy by reducing consumption, in addition to enabling the introduction of more efficient engine technologies, with lower levels of consumption and atmospheric emissions. The minimum RON octane value for ordinary gasoline will be 92, starting on August 3, 2020, and 93, starting on January 1, 2022. For premium gasoline, it will be 97, starting on August 3 next. In addition to establishing the new gasoline specifications, ANP Resolution No. 807/2020 determines the quality control obligations to be met by economic agents.
