# Petrobras reiterates push for separate mandate for Diesel R and HVO

> Petrobras renewed its call for a separate mandate for renewable diesel (Diesel R) and HVO under Brazil’s Future Fuel Law. The company says the mandate should complement, rather than compete with, the biodiesel blending requirement; Diesel R is made by coprocessing a share of soybean oil with petroleum feedstock, and its renewable content has ranged from 5% to 8.5% this year.

## Why it matters

A separate mandate could add renewable diesel demand beyond the existing biodiesel blend, increasing potential demand for soybean oil. The size and timing of any additional demand depend on whether the policy is adopted and how it is implemented.
