Drop in the price of biodiesel helps to reduce the price of diesel
Data from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) show that the 15.8% drop in the price of a liter of biodiesel, from January to March, contributed to an average reduction of 8.8% in the price of a liter of diesel oil, the so-called ‘diesel B’, which contains a percentage of biodiesel and is sold at gas stations. Another factor was the negative variation in the price of a liter of diesel oil (‘diesel A’) by 12.9%.
The calculation of the percentages was made by the team of the Mixed Parliamentary Biodiesel Front (FPBio) of the National Congress and can be accessed at this link .
However, the Organization of Petroleum Producing Countries (OPEC) is pressing to keep the international price of oil high, which affects that of diesel oil. In reaction, the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, said in a note that “it is a priority for the government to invest in the modernization and expansion of our refining park and further encourage the use of biofuels. With this, we will drastically reduce the international dependence on oil derivatives”.
According to FPBio, this combination of factors may open space for the government to assess a possible anticipation of the schedule for increasing the blend of biodiesel to diesel A. Since April 1st, the content has increased from 10% to 12%. In 2024 it will reach 13%; in 2025 to 14%; and in 2026 to 15%.
ANP will discuss diesel B quality with parliamentarians
In view of this, the Superintendent of Inspection at the ANP, Francisco Nelson Castro Neves, will give a lecture at 5 pm on 4/11 to deputies and senators, at the FPBio office, in Brasília – the event will be broadcast online. Castro Neves will speak to parliamentarians regarding “The inspection and quality control procedures for diesel B”.
“It is essential to involve the National Congress in this discussion. With international pressure to keep oil prices high and, consequently, diesel A, makes biodiesel an even more important asset for Brazil’s energy security”, says the president of FPBio, deputy Alceu Moreira (MDB-RS).
