As part of this broader set of economic reforms, the Government of Mozambique has mandated that ethanol and biodiesel be blended with gasoline and diesel, Brazil’s biofuels market is one of the strongest in the world, driven by abundant agricultural resources and supportive government policies.
As a leading global producer of ethanol and biodiesel, Brazil benefits from advanced technology, substantial investment in P&D, and high domestic and international demand.

The strategic alliance aims to boost the development and adoption of biofuel production, promoting the global shift towards sustainable energy, in line with Mozambique’s energy transition aspirations presented last year at the COP 28 Climate Change conference.
