Brazil officially implements biodiesel program, according to Xinhua News Agency. Under the laws enacted by Brazil, starting from January 1 this year, all gas stations across the country have stopped supplying conventional diesel; all diesel sold must contain 2% biodiesel. Following the implementation of the biodiesel program, Brazil is expected to consume 840 million liters of biodiesel in 2008. Currently, Brazil’s annual biodiesel production capacity has reached 2.5 billion liters. Brazil **also plans to raise the biodiesel content to 5% next year, achieving ahead of schedule the target that was originally set for 2013. Brazil **believes that the use of biodiesel can not only reduce environmental pollution and decrease diesel imports, but also create numerous job opportunities in poor rural areas.
