Chile evaluates shift to E10 gasoline to replace MTBE, targeting $107 million annual savings

Chile’s Energy Ministry has prepared a proposal to introduce E10 gasoline blending, potentially ending the country’s reliance on MTBE as the only Latin American nation still using the petrochemical additive at scale. The transition could reduce fuel supply costs by approximately $107 million annually against infrastructure investment of just $10.8 million, according to internal government

Sugarcane biomass reaches 15% of Brazil’s energy supply as biofuel expansion drives land use concerns

Brazil’s sugarcane sector now supplies 15% of the country’s total energy offer through biomass utilization, marking a significant expansion in agricultural energy production. The development coincides with a projected 70% global increase in biofuel output by 2030, driven by new blending mandates enacted following energy security concerns tied to Middle East conflict, though researchers warn

Brazil projects sustainable aviation fuel to reach 5-10% of jet fuel consumption by 2030

Brazil’s sustainable aviation fuel sector could capture between 5% and 10% of domestic aviation fuel volume by 2030, according to projections from the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The estimate reflects both the government’s emission reduction targets and the country’s strategic positioning to become a major SAF exporter as global aviation decarbonization mandates take effect.

Brazil’s corn ethanol expansion could mobilize up to USD 2.8 billion in eucalyptus plantations to meet energy demand

Brazil’s corn ethanol industry faces a biomass supply challenge as capacity doubles by 2030. Mato Grosso alone requires 218,000 additional hectares of eucalyptus to fuel distilleries without compromising the carbon efficiency that drives profitability under RenovaBio. The investment scale positions renewable thermal energy as a parallel market to the ethanol boom itself. Brazil’s corn ethanol

Chile Energy Ministry Denies Formal E10 Ethanol-Gasoline Blend Proposal Despite Internal Memo on $107M Annual Savings

Reuters reported September 17 that Chile’s Energy Ministry prepared an internal memo evaluating E10 ethanol-gasoline adoption to reduce fiscal exposure to oil volatility, but the ministry promptly denied any formal proposal exists. The contradiction highlights mounting pressure on President José Antonio Kast’s administration to address fuel costs as Brent crude holds above $105 per barrel
