Abstract The National Biofuels Policy of Brazil, the RenovaBio program, is expected to be implemented in late December 2019. Over forty biofuel plants have requested the certification process. Brazil’s total 2019 ethanol production is estimated at 34.45 billion liters, an increase of four percent compared to the revised figure for 2018. Total domestic demand for ethanol (fuel and other uses) for calendar year 2019 is estimated at 33.93 billion liters. Total Brazilian biodiesel production is estimated at 5.8 billion liters, an eight percent increase relative to 2018, based on the projected modest growth of the Brazilian economy and the increase of the biodiesel blend to eleven percent (B11) beginning in September 2019.
