Paraguay looking to boost biodiesel blend and mimic Brazil’s ethanol moves

In Paraguay, discussions are underway to boost the ethanol mandate to 27.5% to match what Brazil is potentially doing. Currently the local blend is at 25%, mirroring its neighbor market. On the biodiesel side, the government has convened a working group to study how to promote the fuel’s use. At the moment, oil companies aren’t even reaching the meager 1% blending mandate.
