Pressure from the business sector, more specifically from biodiesel factories, is a reality that is evident in the lack of diesel in the domestic market. Meanwhile, something similar is happening with various provincial leaders, who established a direct line with the Government so that rapid progress can be made in resolving the conflict that not only complicates the country’s productive fabric but also affects the Government’s reserves.
It was the Minister of Production of the province of Santa Fe, Daniel Costamagna, who days ago assured that the request to the Nation to increase the percentage of biodiesel that diesel oil contains “is progressing well.” In statements to the press in his province, the official also stated that the resolution would come out in the next few days, although he stated that the cut would be 10% and not 15% as the industry speculates.
On the other hand, from the Secretary of Energy they avoided answering the questions of this medium, although officials from other areas of the Government emphasize that the easiest way out of the diesel shortage would logically be an increase in the mandatory cut with biodiesel. “It would be the easiest way to get out of the current bottleneck, but the final approval depends solely on Energy,” they explained..
A possible scenario would be that the Government agrees to raise the cut of biodiesel with diesel between 10 and 15% but for a limited period of time, that is, to cross perhaps the next two or three months. To then continue with the 5% that is currently stipulated.
Finally, sources from the oil sector in dialogue with Ámbito emphasized a point that is far from minor. “Beyond the shortage of diesel, currently many biodiesel companies are not delivering even the mandatory 5%, so it really canAt the moment from our sector we do not have any communication or news about it”.
The cards are laid, while the industry presses, the Government evaluates a measure that until now had flatly ruled out, but the worsening of the lack of diesel would have changed the scenario. In the next few days there would be news.
