RenovaBio: ANP releases definitive targets for distributors in 2026.

On Tuesday (31), ANP published the mandatory individual targets for 2026 to be met by distributors, within the scope of RenovaBio, the National Biofuels Policy. They can be accessed on the RenovaBio page. The individual targets were calculated from the mandatory annual target of 48.09 million CBIOs (Decarbonization Credits) defined by CNPE Resolution No. 21, of December 30, 2025, for the year 2026. The market share of each fuel distributor in the marketing of fossil fuels was calculated according to the methodology described in art. 6 of ANP Resolution No. 791, of 2019, considering the marketing of fossil fuels from all units/branches of the distributor authorized by ANP. The distributors' target was reduced due to proof of acquisition and withdrawal of biofuels through a long-term supply contract signed with a biofuel producer holding the Certificate of Efficient Biofuel Production, as per Article 6-A of ANP Resolution No. 791 of 2019. In view of the provisions of § 1, Article 10 of ANP Resolution No. 791/2019, the number of CBIOs not fulfilled by distributors who did not prove full compliance with their targets for the 2025 fiscal year were added to their respective 2026 targets, and CBIOs retired during 2026 relating to previous targets will be considered for compliance with this year's target. Through the retirement (definitive withdrawal from circulation) of CBIOs, distributors fulfill their individual targets for the acquisition of Decarbonization Credits. According to Decree No. 11,499, of April 25, 2023, the deadline for proving compliance with the 2026 targets ends on December 31, 2026. :: What are CBIOs? Decarbonization Credits (CBIOs) are environmental assets issued by biofuel producers in a quantity proportional to the efficiency rating of their certified production and the volume of biofuel sold. One CBIO is equivalent to one ton of greenhouse gases not emitted into the atmosphere due to the use of biofuel as a substitute for fossil fuels. They are traded by biofuel producers on the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3), to be acquired by distributors to meet their individual targets, or even by non-obligated third parties interested in this trading.
