Why did diesel prices rise so quickly? Even before the war, supplies of diesel were tight. That meant the world had little buffer when Persian Gulf countries — which produce a fair amount of diesel — were forced to slash exports. Adding to the challenge is that a lot of the oil produced in the region is especially suited for making diesel and the fuel that jets use. “This is why diesel more than doubles, while gasoline basically moves up in tandem with crude,” said Joe DeLaura, a global energy strategist at Rabobank. “You have a shortage of diesel, you have a shortage of jet fuel, and you have a shortage of fuel oil. Gasoline is relatively well supplied.” Before the war, refineries in the Persian Gulf exported much more diesel and jet fuel than gasoline — and no other countries have the capacity to make up for that loss.

The possibility of terminating Enel’s concession in São Paulo has raised concerns in Brazil’s power sector over potential legal disputes, operational disruptions from a change in operator, and possible impacts on tariffs. Brazil’s Electricity Regulator (Aneel) notified the company on April 13 to provide clarifications as part of a forfeiture process—the most severe penalty in the sector, never before applied in electricity distribution in the country. Enel has 30 days to respond. The measure has previously been considered in cases such as Enel (state of Goiás) and Amazonas Energia, although no formal forfeiture process was opened in the former. In both situations, a change in control occurred before more drastic actions were taken—an option that has been cited as a possible path for the São Paulo distributor.

Automakers are redesigning their portfolios toward low- and zero-emission vehicles and seizing the opportunities of neo-industrialization in Brazil and Latin America. BYD – Denza Brazil is committed to electric mobility and clean energy. In Brazil, the company has four factories (buses in Campinas, photovoltaic panels, batteries in Manaus, and the recent automobile plant in Camaçari, Bahia), dedicated exclusively to electric and electrified vehicles. GAC arrived in Brazil with a mostly electric portfolio and one hybrid but recently launched an internal combustion vehicle (GS3). Stellantis has produced more than 900,000 vehicles in Brazil and has sales exceeding one million units in the region. GWM Brazil began manufacturing in Brazil in August 2025 and has already produced more than 7,300 vehicles at its Iracemápolis plant.

Brazil’s focus on biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel offers a different option to total electrification, a topic especially relevant for Europe in its search for future energy solutions. For decades, Brazil has implemented public policies that promote not only the production but also the extensive use of biofuels, thus fostering technological innovation and investments in infrastructure. Government initiatives have set clear goals to increase the proportion of biofuels in the energy mix of the country. While Europe debates its dependence on combustion engines, Germany acknowledges Brazil’s success with biofuels. Brazil has created a unique energy system where ethanol and biodiesel are essential components integrated into everyday life. Currently, about 75% of vehicles in Brazil are flexible, allowing the use of gasoline combined with biofuels.
