In addition to specific Environmental training, we comply with and maintain strict quality control over the addition of biofuels to fossil fuels. This control is important for the environment.

Each liter correctly added is an extraordinary gain in reducing pollutants, as the addition of biofuels reduces sulfur emissions into the environment, which reduces pollution in the atmosphere.

This addition of biodiesel complies with environmental legislation that complies with the Program of the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE), which published CNPE Resolution No. 16, which provides, by 2023, for the addition of 15% biodiesel to road diesel.
