Brazil has built one of the most successful transport biofuel markets in the world, producing over 35 billion liters of bioethanol annually and blending up to 15% biodiesel in diesel (B15) nationwide. Its long-standing ethanol program, flex-fuel vehicle fleet adoption, and supportive policies like RenovaBio have not only reduced greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector but also created a robust domestic and export market for biofuels.
As many countries in the Global South seek to decarbonize their transport systems, Brazil’s experience provides valuable lessons on scaling production, ensuring fuel quality and compatibility, and building long-term market confidence.
This webinar will use Brazil’s case as a starting point to discuss broader experiences with biofuels for transport. Speakers from different regions will share perspectives on feedstocks, logistics, regulatory design, and cooperation opportunities, while also addressing challenges such as infrastructure limitations, sustainability standards, and investment risks.
