Minenergía calls to meet the goal of mixing ethanol in gasoline

Within the framework of the IV International Conference on Biofuels, Cristian Díaz, Vice Minister (e) of Energy, called on the industry of these sustainable fuels to increase the production of ethanol and meet the goal of 10% in the mixture.

It should be remembered that currently the mixture of ethanol in gasoline is at 4% (E4); however, resolution 40447 of 2022 of the Ministry of Agriculture orders a gradual increase from December 2023, by which time the mix should increase two percentage points.

This resolution proposes that from January 1, 2024, it will increase another two points until it reaches 8% and in February 2024 it will increase another two points to finally reach E10.

Díaz called the agents of the sector to establish dialogues with the Ministry of Mines and Energy with the objective of reaching the proposed goal.
