Aiming at the strong heating of the fuel sector in Brazil during the last years, the Cocamar company arrives at the biodiesel market in the state of Paraná with the beginning of the productive activities in its plant, after obtaining the authorization of the ANP.
Last Tuesday (26/07), the fuel company Cocamar obtained the necessary authorizations from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) for the start of its productive activities in plant of biodiesel from Maringá, located in the state of Paraná. In this way, the company enters the national biodiesel market with a focus on boosting the sector and contracts with distributors in the region, aiming to increase its business portfolio in the country.
Cocamar enters the Brazilian biodiesel market after obtaining ANP approval to start production activities at its production plant in Paraná
The Brazilian biodiesel market has just become even bigger, amidst a scenario of strong investments and high demand in the field of renewable fuels worldwide, with the arrival of the Cocamar company in the biofuel market in the state of Paraná. This is because the company obtained the necessary authorizations from the ANP to start the productive activities of its resource production plant in the region of Maringá, in the state of Paraná.
The company had disclosed more than a year and a half ago that it had a strong interest in entering the Brazilian biodiesel market, due to the high profit potential, and invested a total of R$ 40 million for the development of the biofuel production plant in state of Parana.
The operating authorization confirms the information contained in the ANP spreadsheet that lists biofuel plants under construction and expansion, aiming to enter the national fuel segment. Now, the Brazilian biofuels market expands even further and will be able to meet the high international demand for products in the midst of the energy transition race.
New biodiesel production plant in the state of Paraná expands the state market and places the region at a new level in the national ranking
Cocamar's biodiesel production plant will have a production capacity of around 127,1 thousand m³ of biofuel per year, placing the structure in the 37th position in the national ranking of manufacturers, thus taking over the position of Bocchi, whose plant in many Capões (RS) currently has the capacity to produce up to 108 m³. And, after the arrival of Cocamar to the biodiesel market in Paraná, the state will have an installed capacity of 1,49 million m³ — an increase of 9,3% in relation to the current production park.
And, with this new increase in its production of biodiesel, the state of Paraná shortens the difference that separates it from Goiás, which today is the fourth largest producing market with almost 2,16 million m³ in capacity. Finally, the arrival of Cocamar in the state will also ensure a good increase in national production and the country's overall production capacity will be 12,9 million m³.
