Argentina aumenta mistura de etanol na gasolina em meio a disputa do setor agrícola sobre o futuro dos combustíveis

O governo autorizou misturas mais altas de etanol na gasolina, gerando um debate no setor agrícola sobre o aumento da produção, investimentos e a redução da dependência de importações. Em San Francisco, Córdoba, foi inaugurado um posto para a frota estatal para impulsionar o uso de biocombustíveis.

A medida governamental permite expandir as misturas de etanol na gasolina, promovendo os biocombustíveis. Isso levou o setor agrícola, representado por figuras como Gustavo Idígoras e Luis Zubizarreta, a questionar o rumo futuro dos combustíveis na Argentina. Em San Francisco, Córdoba, um posto de serviço exclusivo para a frota estatal foi habilitado para fortalecer o consumo de biocombustíveis. A iniciativa visa cortar a dependência de importações e incentivar investimentos na produção local. O anúncio, conforme reportado pela TN, ressalta a importância da bioeconomia em províncias como Córdoba e Santa Fe em meio às tensões no setor de combustíveis.
