Rio de Janeiro – On February, Petrobras will export its first 20,000-cubic-metre shipment of anhydrous alcohol to the state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Petrobras informed in a press release that negotiations were concluded yesterday (25) for implementing 10% ethanol addition to the gasoline sold in Nigeria, according to a proposal made by the Brazilian state-owned company and approved by the Nigerian government.
The Brazilian company will provide technical support to gasoline sales during the implementation of the program. The press release also states that the operation will be similar to the one carried out in 2005 and 2006, in partnership with the PDVSA company, from Venezuela.
