    Argentina biofuels forum urges Deputies to pass bill this year, citing US$500M in investments

    At the third Public-Private Biofuels and Bioenergy Forum in Córdoba, attended by more than 250 people, speakers urged Argentina's Chamber of Deputies to take up the new national biofuels law, which has already received half-sanction in the Senate, with the aim of having a new law in place by the end of the year. Senator Flavia Royón, chair of the Senate Energy and Mining Committee, said the bill would unlock US$500 million in investments, more plants and development in Salta, Tucumán, Jujuy, Córdoba and Santa Fe, and called the current framework a constraint, saying a more competitive framework should also cover biomethane and aviation fuel. Córdoba infrastructure minister Fabián López said the debate had moved from theory to the concrete possibility of a new legislative framework, describing the moment as pivotal after the Senate's half-sanction.

    Argentine Senate passes biofuels bill with rising biodiesel blend to lower house

    Argentina's Senate approved a biofuels bill and sent it to the Chamber of Deputies. The bill declares the manufacture, storage, blending, marketing and self-consumption of biofuels to be in the public interest, and sets mandatory, staggered blending quotas: a minimum biodiesel blend of 7.5% initially, rising to 10% twelve months after the law takes effect. A transitional regime would run until 2036, when free competition in the market is to be released. The bill passed the vote in general by 41 votes in favour to 25 against. It also opens deregulation of complementary renewable energy, such as biomethane for pipeline injection and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
