Evolution of the BSBIOS Brand to Be8

The national leader in biodiesel production, BSBIOS, announced its evolution to Be8, reflecting the company’s strategic growth and internationalization in the renewable energy market.

The change was announced in the 2022 edition of the Sustainability Report, where Be8 demonstrated its trajectory of environmental, social, and governance responsibility in the biofuels business.

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.

Investments and Global Presence

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.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
