From now on, the driver Parana which is fuel your car with alcohol will have to get used to ask for another name: ethanol. Yesterday, in Curitiba, the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) and union jobs and fuel distributors started in a post at the Botanical Garden, the exchange of nomenclature.

Now, the new name does not appear only at the pumps, but also on the boards and even the tax documents. The idea is that change, which is part of a series of new measures for marketing the product, help to reduce fuel prices.

"Brazil is the only country in the world who use alcohol in the name of fuel," the ANP director, Allan Kardec Duailibe, who was in Curitiba for the ceremony to exchange the product name.

For him, the measures in relation to ethanol are designed to make the fuel competitive in the international market. One ethanol becomes a commodity, which allows marketing in futures exchanges. Another is the creation, announced last month, a company that markets the product.

According to the director of the Union of Retail Fuel in Paraná (PR-Sindicombustiveis) Oclandio Sprenger, the process of change in nomenclature should take three to six months in the state.

All 2.5 thousand jobs across the Paraná, with around 600 in Curitiba and metropolitan region, will join with materials supplied by the distributors, the trade union or made-up self-same.

And the consumer believes Sprenger, also should not take long to assimilate the change and pass the request to complete the tank with ethanol.

Quality

The director of ANP used the event to comment on the quality of ethanol at the pump of Paraná is good. According Duailibe, the rates of non-compliance obtained in the agency are getting smaller and the state has an average similar to the national 3% of non-compliant results.

"For 10 years, this index was above 12%," he said. For him, the mixture of dye in anhydrous ethanol for blending with gasoline, but used illegally in ethanol was one of the main causes of the adulteration.

Duailibe also said he sees naturally, in most cases, the alignment of prices of fuels in different positions. "Normally, changes are minimal and within the margin. There are few distributors and stations buy at similar prices," he said, noting that in the case of ethanol, at very low prices typically indicate tax evasion.
