Description:	Abstract: To mitigate greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and increase energy security, Brazil plans to increase biofuel use through, among other strategies, mandates of biodiesel (BD) mix on fossil diesel. From March 2024 onwards, BD added to diesel was 14%(wv> and, from March 2025 on, 15o/)(v/v) (CNPE 2023). Demand for diesel is expected to nearly double in 2050 (MME/EPE 2020). Thus, BD use will have to expand to cope with both the rise of blend mandates and the increasing consumption of diesel. In Brazil 60% of BD is produced from soy oil (ANP 2023b) but 63% of soy is exported (ABIOVE 2023). This study investigates the GHG mitigation potential of soy BD in mixing mandates by 2050 using Life Cycle emissions (LCA-GHG) and alternative land demand and direct land use change (dLUC) scenarios, as well as the effects on feedstock supplies.
