According to data from the USDA, Brazil was the second largest producer and consumer of biofuels in the world during 2021. The country is among the global pioneers in biofuels development and adoption, with the introduction of flex-fuel (dual-fuel ethanol and petrol) vehicles as early as 2003. Moreover, mandatory blending of fossil fuels with biofuels has underpinned the growth of the sector ever since their introduction in the second half of the 2000s decade. Brazil’s massive agricultural sector also plays a key part in the development of the sector, with the country being among the largest producers of raw materials for biofuels, such as sugarcane, soybean, maize and animal fats.
