Bill authorizes diesel blending with biodiesel

Bill 2044/22 authorizes transporter-resellers to mix diesel with biodiesel. In practice, Transport-Reseller-Retailer (TRR) companies will be able to purchase the products necessary for the operation. It is worth remembering that these companies are authorized by the National Petroleum Agency, a large part of the fuel is purchased in bulk.

Currently, TRR companies are not allowed to handle and compose fuels. If approved, the TRR will be able to purchase fuels for mixing from producing agents, marketing companies, distributors and importers. However, companies must follow the minimum security and operational capacity requirements.
