  • What is the new biofuels law in Argentina?
  • In mid-2021 Argentina passed a new Biofuels Law 27640, to replace the expiring Biofuels Law 26093 of 2006. The new law reduced rather than expanded biofuel consumption. It maintained the mandated blend rate for bioethanol at 12 percent and reduced that of biodiesel from 10 to 5 percent.
  • How many biodiesel plants are there in Argentina?
  • There are 33 biodiesel plants in production in Argentina in 2021, with a total capacity of 4.43 billion liters. Argentina almost exclusively uses soybean oil as feedstock.
  • How much biodiesel is produced in Argentina in 2023?
  • A paid subscription is required for full access. Argentina's biodiesel production dropped to some 0.83 million metric tons in 2023, down from over 1.9 million metric tons in the previous year. This represented the lowest figure reported over the last decade.
  • Are biodiesel imports expected in Argentina?
  • As in past years, biodiesel imports are not expected since the biofuels law requires all biodiesel placed on the market be produced in domestic plants with locally produced feedstock. Argentina does not commercially produce renewable diesel or sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
  • Will Argentina invest in a new biofuels plant in 2022?
  • Argentina has not announced any investment in a new biofuels plant in 2022. The latest addition was the expansion capacity of the largest corn ethanol plant in Cordoba province. Biofuels, Biodiesel & Blends > B30, Ethanol (non-bev.)
  • What is the biofuel blend rate in Argentina?
  • In the past, Argentina has had variety of blend rates based on prevailing laws and regulations which are described below. The prior Biofuels Law (26093/2006) which recently expired, had mandated a blend rate of 12 percent for bioethanol (evenly split between corn and sugarcane derived ethanol) and 10 percent of biodiesel.
