There Are 51 Production Plants Today in Brazil, With 14 Plants in Mato Grosso. In This Large State in the Brazilian Midwest, 290,000 Liters of Biodiesel Are Produced Daily.

There Are 14 Plants Installed in Mato Grosso, Making It the Second Largest Producer of Biodiesel in the Country. More Than R$ 5 Billion Liters of Biodiesel Were Sold in the State Last Year Alone. GALP Will Buy 50% of Petrobras in Belem Bioenergia Brasil and Will Become the Sole Shareholder of the Company, According to Cade’s Opinion.

Like Other Biofuels, Biodiesel Uses Renewable Energy Sources That Can Partially or Totally Replace Petroleum-Derived Fuels and Natural Gas in Combustion Engines or Other Types of Energy Generation.

The Two Main Liquid Biofuels Used in Brazil Are Ethanol Obtained from Sugarcane and Soybeans.

“With the Promotion of Biodiesel, the Agribusiness Sector Is Stimulated and Consequently Soybean Production Increases.” Said the Economist from the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economy (Imea), Daniel Latorraca.

The Sector Expects That Starting This Month, the Mixture of Biodiesel in Diesel Will Increase from 10% to 11%. This Percentage is Expected to Reach 15% by 2023.

There Are 51 Production Plants Today in Brazil, One of Which Is Located in Sorriso, 420 km from the Capital in Mato Grosso. In This Large State in the Brazilian Midwest, 290,000 Liters of Biodiesel Are Produced Daily.

The National Agency of Petroleum (ANP) is Responsible in the Country for the Commercialization of Biodiesel Through Public Auctions. Estênio Carvalho, Manager of the Plant in Sorriso, Said That in the Last Auction, 61% of the Total Mato Grosso Production Went to the Northern Region of the Country, 21% to the Northeast, and 18% to the Midwest.

“We Need More Investments Both in Expanding the Facilities and in the Entry of New Players to Meet the Market in the Future,” Said Rodrigo Guerra, Vice President of the National Association of Biodiesel Producers (Aprobio).

About 45% of Energy and 18% of Fuels Consumed in Brazil Are Already Renewable. In the Rest of the World, 86% of Energy Comes from Non-Renewable Energy Sources. A Global Pioneer in the Use of Biofuels, Brazil Has Achieved a Position Desired by Many Countries That Seek to Develop Renewable Energy Sources as Strategic Alternatives to Oil.

Petrobras Will Not End Its Activities in Bahia and the Northeast, as Has Been Reported.
