In 2022, Be8 served customers in 13 Brazilian states and expanded its exports to 12 countries, including South Africa, Bangladesh, Belgium, China, South Korea, Slovenia, Spain, India, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, and Pakistan.

The company also made its first commercial-scale biodiesel export from Brazil to the United States, reinforcing its international presence and the quality of the product produced in the country.

Be8 continued to expand its international presence in 2022, with the acquisition of a plant in Switzerland for the production of biodiesel from used cooking oil (UCO) and the purchase of the La Paloma complex in Paraguay for soybean crushing and biodiesel production.

The company is also developing the Omega Green project, which will produce advanced biofuels to meet strategic sectors such as civil aviation and the chemical and petrochemical industries.

Throughout 2023, Be8 plans to focus on its growth in Brazil, Latin America, and other regions, aiming to become a positive transformation agent in the energy landscape.

Sustainability will continue to be a premise in all of the company’s interactions, always seeking innovation and sustainable deliveries for people, businesses, and the planet.
