Betting On Growth, The Country Stands Out In Biodiesel Production, Aligning Itself With Global Demand For Cleaner Energy

This year marks a strategic phase in Brazilian biodiesel production, with the government increasing the blend of biodiesel with commercial diesel from 10% (B10) to 12% (B12). The National Energy Policy Council (CNPE) has set targets to achieve a blend of 15% by 2026, and with a focus on decarbonizing the national energy matrix, accelerating this timeline is a real possibility.

With each percentage point increase in the blend, around 650 million additional liters of biodiesel are produced. Thus, according to estimates from the Brazilian Association of Vegetable Oil Industries (ABIOVE), production for 2023 has the potential to exceed 7 billion liters.

Daniel Amaral, director of Economics and Regulatory Affairs at ABIOVE, highlights the evolution of production in the country. “In 2022, national production reached 6.3 billion liters of biodiesel. With the new blend target, the industry gained momentum to invest more, positioning Brazil as the third largest producer of biodiesel in the world.”

Data from the Energy Research Company (EPE) highlight the relevance of Brazilian biodiesel in environmental issues: it can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80% when compared to fossil diesel. Since the implementation of the mandatory blend in 2008 until 2022, production totaled 60.1 billion liters, replacing imports and preventing the emission of 130 million tons of CO₂ – equivalent to what is emitted by Paraná in a year.

Global Quality Of Brazilian Biodiesel

Resolution ANP No. 920/23 (RANP 920) raised the quality standards for biodiesel. Currently, Brazil boasts the biodiesel with the highest control and oxidation stability in the world. The National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) established strict filtering standards and appropriate practices for producers and distributors.

The companies affiliated with ABIOVE, which account for about 30% of the national biodiesel production, promptly adhered to the new guidelines from ANP. They also fully comply with the Bio+ requirements, a seal that confirms the excellence of biodiesel. Developed in partnership with the IQA – Institute of Automotive Quality, the Bio+ seal has recently undergone an update, becoming even more robust.

IQA Certification: Guarantee of Excellence

The Bio+ seal is a certification that verifies the adherence of biodiesel to the standards set by the market and by RANP 920. This certification was the result of collaboration between IQA and ABIOVE, combining their expertise into a verification protocol. To obtain this seal, companies undergo a rigorous evaluation, ensuring the reliability of the products.

Sérgio Fabiano, automotive services manager at IQA, emphasizes the importance of this certification. “As a certifier in the automotive sector, IQA recognizes biodiesel as an essential clean energy matrix. The Bio+ seal is a quality endorsement that brings benefits to companies and consumers.”

About IQA

Founded in 1995, IQA – Institute of Automotive Quality is an entity focused on promoting quality in the Mobility Sector. Aiming to ensure greater safety for consumers, the institute works with certifications, training, inspections, and laboratory testing, constantly innovating and meeting the needs of the market and society. It represents international bodies and is accredited by CGCRE – General Coordination of Accreditation of Inmetro.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the Etna magma system in almost real time and discovered where the volcano was storing large volumes of molten material before years of eruptions, revealing an underground reservoir that fills and reorganizes like a living organism beneath the mountain.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Brazilian city becomes a global destination after attracting tourists who travel up to 10,000 km to visit a sanctuary with 11 giant saints up to 10 meters tall, open 24 hours and located along a highway in SP.

JBL Flip Essential 3 SE is launched with 30W of power (20W + 10W), Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast for multiple connections, IP67 water and dust resistance, up to 12 hours of battery life, and a price of approximately R$ 660 in China.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Pernambuco paradise with 59% of preserved area advances with R$ 2 billion in e-methanol, aims for 900 tons/day, grows 38.6% and builds electrified terminal of 400 thousand TEUs.

Brazil may have railways back on the map, but it will need the government: a study reveals 7,412 km ready for reactivation, a cost of R$ 75 billion, 61 sections analyzed, and none viable without public funding.
