You are here: Uruguay: overview of diesel policy, market and qualityProjection
Projection
According to the government, diesel consumption will increase progressively in Uruguay by 3% per year, reaching about 1,310 million liters per year in 2030.
This section provides SGS INSPIRE’s projections for sulfur reduction and biofuel blending.
Timeline for sulfur reduction
There is no timeline to phase out Diesel S50 (50 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) sulfur).
Timeline for biofuel blending
No large biodiesel volumes have been used in Uruguay since December 2022, but the government is discussing whether to resume its use in the country. In that scenario, SGS INSPIRE estimates an average of 1.5 to 4.0% v/v biodiesel blending from 2025 to 2030, representing between 17 and 52 million liters of biodiesel to be used in Uruguay.
