RenovaBio — Law 13.576/2017

Fuel distributors must retire decarbonisation credits (CBIOs) in proportion to the fossil fuel they sell.

Timeline

  1. 2017

    Law 13.576 creates the programme.

  2. 2020

    First compliance year with individual distributor targets.

  3. 2026

    Annual targets continue to rise under the CNPE decarbonisation curve.

  4. 2030

    Cumulative decarbonisation target for the transport fuel matrix.

Requirements

  • Annual national decarbonisation target set by the National Energy Policy Council and split among distributors by CNPE/ANP resolution.
  • Biofuel producers must hold a certification issued by an accredited inspection firm to issue CBIOs.
  • CBIOs are issued per unit of avoided emissions and traded on B3.

Compliance status & enforcement

Administrator
Agência Nacional do Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis (ANP)
How compliance is shown
Distributors buy and retire CBIOs on the B3 exchange; retirement is verified against each firm's individual target.
Penalty for shortfall
Fines from R$100,000 up to R$50 million depending on the size of the shortfall, under Law 13.576/2017.

    Law 14.993 (Combustível do Futuro) enacted.

  2. 2025

    E30 gasoline blend and B15 diesel blend take effect (1 August 2025).

  3. 2027

    ProBioQAV SAF obligation begins at a 1% emissions reduction for domestic aviation.

  4. 2037

    SAF emissions-reduction obligation reaches 10%.

Requirements

  • Anhydrous ethanol blend in gasoline set within a 22–35% band by CNPE resolution.
  • Biodiesel blend in diesel rising on the CNPE schedule within a range up to B25.
  • National SAF programme (ProBioQAV) sets an emissions-reduction obligation for domestic flights from 2027.
  • Biomethane obligation introduced for the natural gas grid under the same law.

Compliance status & enforcement
