A Revolutionary Partnership Aims to Produce 1 Billion Liters of Renewable Diesel Per Year.

Acelen, a giant in the energy sector, embarks on the first phase of its mission to revolutionize the renewable fuels segment. Focused on the macaúba, a Brazilian plant with impressive energy value, the company has partnered with MulticanaPlus, a leader in R&D of plant micropropagation and cloning of selected macaúba plants.

The Future of Plant Cloning and the Role of Macaúba

The goal is clear: to develop genetically uniform clones of high-quality plants. This means replicating valuable traits such as resilience to stress and high production potential. This process is key to ensuring uniformity in plantations and preserving vital characteristics, driving the progress of macaúba cultivation.

The innovation in micropropagation of macaúba is a global pioneer, marking a significant advancement in sustainable agriculture. Marcelo Cordaro, Vice President of New Business at Acelen, emphasizes: “Macaúba, besides being a native plant, stands out for its high oil yield per hectare, surpassing many other crops in water and nutritional efficiency, and it’s also essential for the conservation and revitalization of our biome.”

He continues: “Our approach is based on the best agricultural and ecological practices, which optimizes carbon absorption and minimizes CO2 emissions from seed to final fuel. And with the expertise of MulticanaPlus, we are ensuring a cutting-edge protocol.”

A Commitment to Sustainability and Progress

The bold biorefinery project, part of the PAC and revealed in August, promises to reposition Brazil at the forefront of the energy transition. With an estimated investment of R$ 12 billion over the next decade, Acelen plans to cultivate macaúba and palm oil on a vast area of 200,000 hectares. The focus is on degraded areas, with the vision of producing renewable diesel and sustainable aviation kerosene, creating approximately 90,000 jobs and supporting numerous local farmers.

Diving into the complex world of palm cloning, Alewijn Broere, General Director of MulticanaPlus, comments: “Mastering this technique is a challenge. But with our track record of success in cloning, especially with açaí palms, we are confident that we can support Acelen in this ambitious renewable diesel project using cloned macaúba. Our expertise combined with cutting-edge technology is at the core of our business.”

The micropropagation technique for macaúba seedlings is a springboard for a faster and more sustainable production, aiming not only to increase efficiency but also to protect our valuable ecosystem.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

The radio has been in more than half of Brazilian households for decades, and in 2024, for the first time in history, the number of households without a device surpassed those with a device, with a decrease of 2.3 million in just one year.

Scientists create a semiconductor that mimics the human brain using hydrogen and boost a new generation of smart chips with learning capabilities and the potential to revolutionize artificial intelligence applications.

Neither Brazil nor the USA: China produces over 60% of the world’s farmed fish and accounts for about 40% of all global seafood, using industrial-scale aquaculture megafarms to influence the international market and supply billions of people.

Siemens Energy opens nearly 80 internship positions in 2026 with opportunities in various states and applications until April.

USA and China compete for Brazil over resources that could be worth trillions — rare earths put the country at the center of a global dispute

Motorola launched the Signature with a gold seal from DxOMark, tying with the iPhone 17 Pro in camera performance, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 that surpassed 3 million in benchmarks, and a zoom that impresses even at night.

Satellites reveal beneath the Sahara a giant river buried for thousands of kilometers: study shows that the largest hot desert on the planet was once traversed by a river system comparable to the largest on Earth.

The government requests the Federal Revenue Service for a new system to automate the income tax declaration, reducing errors, time, and bureaucracy for millions of Brazilians.

With 74% of companies facing difficulties in hiring, technicians and engineers in renewable energy are becoming scarce in Brazil and are essential to support the expansion of solar, wind, and green hydrogen projects.

Geologists find traces of a continent that disappeared 155 million years ago after separating from Australia and reveal that it did not sink, but broke into fragments scattered across Southeast Asia.
