Bio-Oil Is Produced from By-Products of Biomass Charcoal Production and Promises to Be the Future of the Brazilian Market. Nexa Mining Company Is the First to Use the New Renewable Fuel from Aperam BioEnergia in Its Operations.

Sustainability and the search for new technologies to minimize environmental impacts continue to be the main focus of the national energy industry. For this Friday, (12/16), Aperam BioEnergia has launched a new renewable fuel on the market. This is bio-oil, a 100% renewable plant-based oil resulting from the processing of by-products from charcoal production. The project was initiated in 2017, with Nexa, a mining company that is already using the new fuel.

The Bio-Oil Project Was Initiated by Aperam BioEnergia in 2017, in Partnership with Nexa, and the Mining Company Now Benefits from the New Renewable Fuel

Aperam BioEnergia continues to innovate and launch new sustainable solutions for the Brazilian energy market, this time with a new renewable fuel produced from by-products generated in biomass charcoal production at its facilities in the Jequitinhonha Valley (MG).

The so-called bio-oil is the company’s new investment for the future of decarbonization in the national transportation sector, as it significantly reduces the emission of pollutant gases into the atmosphere.

Bio-Oil Offers Significant Advantages Over Conventional Fuels by Minimizing Air Pollutant Emissions

Aperam BioEnergia highlighted the benefits of its new renewable fuel, stating that the main advantage is the minimization of pollutant gas emissions, such as carbon.

In Aperam BioEnergia’s charcoal production, sourced from planted forests, carbon emissions are completely neutralized, ensuring greater sustainability in the production chain.

Executive Wagner Lima, Corporate Energy Manager at Nexa, commented that the partnership with the energy company was essential to combine both parties’ expertise in a project that can make significant contributions in the mining sector.

Additionally, the strong performance of the biofuel demonstrates technical and economic feasibility for the complete replacement of petroleum-derived fuels currently used in the mineral zinc production process at the Nexa mining facility in Três Marias, Minas Gerais.

Bio-oil is produced during the wood carbonization process for charcoal formation. During production, in addition to charcoal, liquids and condensable vapors are generated.

In this way, Aperam BioEnergia leverages its existing technology to maximize the utilization of these processes.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

The military spaceplane that almost took the Cold War into orbit: Boeing X-20 Dyna-Soar was designed to re-enter above Mach 20, fly for up to 40 hours, land like a plane, and transform Titan rockets into a gateway to a new era of orbital warfare.

Foreign tree planted to combat drought invades more than 1 million hectares of the Caatinga, encroaches on riparian forests, and turns an old solution for the semi-arid region into a silent threat to biodiversity.

Hidden in Shenzhen, a Chinese company claims to ship over 20,000 orders a day and promises to turn any dropshipping beginner into a respected brand for just 20 dollars.

Suzuki Fronx emerges as the “compact coupe SUV” that Brazil doesn’t have: priced around R$ 37,000 in a tax-free conversion, the model has a hybrid version, 1.0 turbo engine, bold design, and the price of a popular car in India.

Brazilian promises his children to save a river, creates an eco-barrier in his backyard, has already removed more than 40 tons of trash from the water, and even inspires the idea in other states of the country.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.
