In March 2020, the Brazilian government raised the biodiesel blending mandate from 11% to 12% (target of 15% in 2023 embedded in the RenovaBio programme). In August 2020, the mandate was temporarily lowered to 10%, and the measure went on until at least November 2020. In December 2023, the Brazilian energy policy council (CNPE) set new targets for the biodiesel blending mandate at 14% starting March 2024 and 15% starting 2025, up from 12% in 2023. In February 2025, Brazil's national energy council decided to keep the local mandatory biodiesel blend into diesel at 14%.
