Due to its diversified composition, with predominance of renewable sources encouraged by the government over the years, Brazil is one of the countries that stand out in the international energy scene. Likewise, the use of biofuels, biodiesel and ethanol was increased from 2012 to 2018. This study aims to analyze the supply of energy from renewable sources, its participation in the National Interconnected System – SIN, and the part of biofuels regulated by the National Petroleum Agency - ANP to supply the vehicle fleet besides the other equipment with internal combustion engines, in order to evaluate the growing national use of renewable energy sources. The analyzed data demonstrated Brazil's tendency to migrate its energy matrix to a clean and sustainable production model, both for electric power generation and for fuel production. Ethanol has increased its space for direct supply as in addition to gasoline. The biodiesel had growth by the policy of gradual addition to the diesel, besides being added to the generation of electric energy.
