Argentina enables more ethanol in gasoline as farm sector disputes fuel future

The government has enabled higher ethanol blends in gasoline, sparking a debate in the agricultural sector over increased production, investments, and reduced import dependence. In San Francisco, Córdoba, a station for the state fleet was opened to boost biofuel use.

The government measure allows expanding ethanol mixtures in gasoline, promoting biofuels. This has prompted the agricultural sector, with figures like Gustavo Idígoras and Luis Zubizarreta, to challenge the future direction of fuels in Argentina.

In San Francisco, Córdoba, a service station exclusive to the state fleet was enabled to strengthen biofuel consumption. The initiative aims to cut import dependence and encourage local production investments.

The announcement, as reported by TN, underscores bioeconomy importance in provinces like Córdoba and Santa Fe amid fuel sector tensions.
