THE MUNICIPALITY OF PEDRA PRETA, IN MATO GROSSO, WILL GET A BIODIESEL FACTORY IN 2024
Biofuels are an important part of the energy transition strategies of countries around the world.
With the certainty that fossil fuels will need to be abandoned in the near future, due to the environmental (global warming, climate change, acid rain) and social (diseases caused by pollution) damage that their use promotes, biodiesel presents itself as an alternative from a renewable, sustainable source, which strongly contributes to reducing vehicle emissions and improving the health and quality of life of the population.
In relation to diesel, for example (the most polluting fossil fuel after coal and the most consumed in Brazil), biodiesel emits up to 80% less CO2 and does not emit sulfur.
Biodiesel production in Brazil also promotes family farming, with the legal requirement of minimum percentages of purchases of raw materials, by producing companies, from family farmers, so that they receive the Social Biodiesel Seal. This guarantees access to the market.
Our biodiesel factory is under construction in Pedra Preta, in accordance with the specifications of the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency – ANP.
We invest in the best technologies and the best professionals available, in search of excellence in our products. Our machines are capable of producing biodiesel from biomass of various raw materials. Operations will begin in the first half of 2024.
