The purpose of change is to raise the sustainable fuel mixture; change can result in a reduction of $ 0.02 in the price
From today, the content of ethanol in the common produced will go from 27.5% to 30%, according to the decision of the National Council of Energy Policy. This change, which will come into force on August 1, 2025, aims to increase the mixture of sustainable fuel in gasoline, promoting a more ecological alternative. However, market projections indicate that this change may result in a reduction of 2 cents in the price of gasoline. On the other hand, diesel may increase 2 cents due to the new biodiesel mixture, which will rise from 14% to 15%.
Common gasoline is called E30. The change is that the change will result in a price variation of up to R $ 0.02 per liter for the consumer, a reduction that is attributed to the current sugarcane crop period, which increases ethanol supply. However, the scenario may be revealed during the off -season.
Regarding diesel, increased biodiesel mixture to 15% should generate a slight increase of up to $ 0.02 per liter. The reason is that biodiesel has a production cost higher than the diesel of fossil origin. The measure follows the guidelines of the fuel law of the future and aims to strengthen the country’s energy security.
The increased price of aviation kerosene at 4.7% for distributors, which corresponds to an increase of $ 0.16 per liter. THEWeighing the monthly adjustment, the company reports that the price of QAV accumulates a small reduction of 0.3% in the year. As fuel represents a high cost to airlines, the measure can impact the value of tickets.
Changes in the composition of gasoline and diesel are part of the government’s strategy to decrease dependence on imported fossil fuels, strengthen national biofuels production, and reduce pollutant emissions.
