Marco regulatório do biodiesel no Brasil: barreiras institucionais para a competitividade

Abstract

The Brazilian biodiesel market is one of the largest in the world, however, its regulatory framework has raised many questions since its implementation in 2004. The main objective of the work was to diagnose the institutional barriers of the regulatory framework for biodiesel in Brazil in the light of structural factors of a competitiveness model specifically, suggest strategies and propositions to improve the competitiveness of the biodiesel chain. From a methodological point of view, the research is characterized as qualitative and descriptive, where the Structuring Factors Method applied to the Biodiesel Production Chain was used, as well as the triangulation method for data analysis. The results obtained made it possible to verify that the implementation of Law 11.097/2005 and its various changes in the biodiesel regulatory framework were considered as Favorable/Very Favorable by the interviewees, on the other hand, the auction system and the Social Fuel Seal have meant incentive mechanisms for the mills, but not in support of the program's inclusion objectives. The strategic actions and suggested propositions must have a coordinated and explicit action, combining public and private efforts.
