Abstract
This Law establishes a comprehensive framework to promote low-carbon sustainable mobility and support Brazil’s transition towards a cleaner energy economy. Its main objectives are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transport and energy sectors, encourage the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels, and align national policies with international climate commitments. To achieve this, the law integrates existing initiatives such as RenovaBio, the Green Mobility and Innovation Programme (Mover), the Brazilian Vehicle Labelling Programme (PBEV) and vehicle emissions control policies, while introducing life-cycle assessment methodologies to evaluate and reduce the carbon intensity of fuels and transport systems. It also creates programmes to foster sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), green diesel, biometane and other low-carbon energy sources.
The law also aims to develop emerging decarbonisation industries through regulatory, economic and technological incentives. It establishes the National Sustainable Aviation Fuel Programme (ProBioQAV), the National Green Diesel Programme (PNDV), and the National Programme for Decarbonisation of Natural Gas Producers and Importers and for the Promotion of Biometane, setting emission-reduction targets and encouraging investment in renewable fuels and related infrastructure. The law also creates a legal and regulatory framework for the capture, transport and geological storage of carbon dioxide (CCS), assigning regulatory responsibilities to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP). Overall, the legislation seeks to strengthen energy security, stimulate innovation and domestic industrial development, expand the use of sustainable fuels, and support Brazil’s long-term climate neutrality and decarbonisation goals.
