Brazil targets B5 biodiesel by 2013

The Brazilian government has targeted reaching a B5 biodiesel blend level by 2013. Brazil has set a B2 blending mandate effective in January 2008, and the director general at the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuel Agency (ANP), said that he expected that there would be enough biodiesel to cover more than twice the amount mandated.

Brazil has recently signed trade and development deals with the Congo and Mozambique with biodiesel elements.
