Proyecto de resolución "Por la cual se establecen los parámetros y requisitos de calidad del combustible diésel (ACPM), los biocombustibles para su uso en motores de encendido por compresión como componentes de mezcla en procesos de combustión, y de las gasolinas básicas y gasolinas oxigenadas con etanol anhidro, combustible para uso en motores de encendido por chispa, y se adoptan otras disposiciones" (Draft Resolution establishing the quality parameters and requirements for diesel fuel, biofuels for use in compression-ignition engines as blend stock in combustion processes, and basic gasolines and gasolines oxygenated with anhydrous fuel ethanol for use in spark-ignition engines, and adopting other provisions) (15 pages, in Spanish)

The notified draft Resolution establishes the quality parameters and requirements for diesel fuel, basic gasolines and gasolines oxygenated with denatured anhydrous fuel ethanol, for use in compression- and spark-ignition engines respectively. It also updates the analytical methodologies for biodiesel and fossil diesel mixtures for use in Colombia, with a view to protecting the environment and health and improving the quality of liquid fuels.
