Adjustments in the price of bioethanol
Through the publication of Resolution 709/2023 in the Official Gazette on August 28, a measure with a direct impact on the bioethanol market derived from corn and sugar cane will be implemented. In consideration of the complexity of the national macroeconomic situation, the Ministry of Energy has made the decision to reform both the prices and the calculation formulas that regulate this industry. As a result, a new value has been established for the purchase of the biofuel.
Within this panorama, that produced from sugar cane is valued at $237,672 per liter , with the purpose of its necessary combination with gasoline. Simultaneously, bioethanol obtained from corn has been valued at $224,309 per liter .
The cunning of the authorities is further accentuated by taking into account that the bioethanol content in gasoline should currently reach 12%. The methods that determine the prices of bioethanol, both from corn and sugarcane, will be the subject of a thorough review. These adjustments will take effect as of November 1, 2023 , offering greater transparency in the evaluation of these biofuels .
