Estándar de emisión y calidad de combustible en Latinoamérica y el Caribe 2020

A 2020 fact sheet from the Centro de Movilidad Sostenible detailing fuel quality standards (specifically sulfur levels and octane ratings) and emission standards for light-duty vehicles (LDV) across several Latin American and Caribbean countries.

• Fuel and emission standards vary significantly across the region. For example, Chile implements Euro 4 standards with a goal of Euro 6 by 2022, while Colombia currently uses Euro 2 with a target of Euro 6 by 2030. Mexico utilizes Euro 4 standards with a maximum sulfur level of 15 ppm in certain cities.
• Sulfur levels in diesel vary widely by country, ranging from 15 ppm maximum in some Mexican cities to 8000 ppm maximum in Cuba and 5000 ppm for diesel imported from Venezuela into Nicaragua.
• Brazil employs a mix of state (11) and private (2) refineries and mandates specific biofuel blends, including 27% ethanol in gasoline and 7% biodiesel in diesel, with 100% of new light vehicles being "Flex fuel".
