by Alvaro Arellano (elciudadanoweb.com (Google Translation)) Producers in the sector support the presentation of a bill that proposes the massive migration of traditional fuel to biodiesel. This demand would make it possible to reactivate its installed capacity. Dragging a strong crisis due to the lack of clarity in energy policies.
The Santa Fe biofuel industry ensures that its installed capacity is able to supply biodiesel to all public transport and even to other productive sectors. This affirmation arises after the presentation of a bill in the provincial legislature that proposes the massive migration of the use of diesel to biodiesel in transportation.

To supply for transportation, they propose adding agricultural machinery, logistics, cargo, power generation and public works.
In November 2019, a biofuel bill was presented that proposes a higher percentage cut of biodiesel and bioethanol in fuel. The initiative was to go from 10% cut on diesel to 15%. READ MORE
