Change depends on the preparation of the producers of cane sugar to demand
The Minister of Mines and Energy, Edison Lobao said the government is working to increase the chance of mixing alcohol (ethanol) in gasoline later this year and is in talks with producers to implement the initiative.
- We are working with the hypothesis that it may increase the mix this year. It is not a decision. We're talking to the producers, and to the extent that they can give us firm guarantees delivery, we have every interest in increasing (the mixture).
Lobao, who was speaking to reporters on arrival at an event with business owners on the evening of Thursday (16) in Sao Paulo, said that there are differences between the projections of supply with producers.
- We are checking and comparing the numbers and information to see if we reach a conclusion.
In early July, the minister had said that the mixture of ethanol could rise from 20% today to 25% if the production of cane sugar increased.
