To meet this objective, this study used a qualitative approach, with descriptive analysis methods through literature review on the biofuels market and public policies in Brazil. In general, it can be said that regulation in the bioeconomy and biofuels sector is complex, often too bureaucratic. Based on the results of this work, it is concluded that the advantages in the production of biofuels that the country has are not enough for the objectives of the newly created program and for the country to assume a prominent role with regard to the bioeconomy, it is essential to adopt Of policies that guarantee structural conditions, through regional and international collaborations and that have the necessary flexibility to adapt to new and future opportunities.
