"The plan of (Argentine President) Mauricio Macri's government is to increase the ethanol blend in fuel from the current 12 percent to a maximum 26 percent, following in the steps of Brazil's decades-long policy," said Patrick Adam, executive director of the country's corn ethanol chamber.

An Energy Ministry spokesman said the government's aim was indeed to increase the required use of ethanol in fuel although specific targets had not yet been fixed.

At a climate change conference in Paris last year, countries signed up to rein in rising carbon levels, gradually reducing the world's reliance on fossil fuels.
