The Company Equinor Aims to Become Neutral in Emissions by 2050 and Plans to Rely on the National Biofuels Sector. The Project for the Production of Green Diesel Aviation Bio-Kerosene with CNPEM Will Contribute to the Goals.

The National Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) is in partnership with Equinor Brazil for strong investments in the national biofuels sector. The organizations have come together to study the feasibility of producing aviation bio-kerosene and green diesel from agroforestry waste. The project will have a total investment of around R$ 8.5 million from Equinor over the coming years.

With an Investment of R$ 8.5 Million from Equinor, Project in Partnership with CNPEM for Biofuels Production Will Boost the Company’s Environmental Commitment

Equinor has been seeking to expand its environmental commitment and minimize emissions in its operations over the past few years.

Now, the company has joined forces with CNPEM for the development of a project to enable the production of aviation bio-kerosene and green diesel from agroforestry waste.

The project between Equinor and CNPEM for the production of aviation bio-kerosene and green diesel, both renewable and advanced biofuels, marks a new moment in the national market.

Andrea Achôa, Manager of R&D at Equinor Brazil, celebrated the announcement of the initiative: “Through the partnership with CNPEM, we are taking an important step to collaborate on emission reductions in our operations, one of the focuses of our global strategy. Research and development are fundamental for us to shape the future of energy, and academia is a key part in this sense.”

Through the R&D initiative, several activities will be carried out at the National Laboratory of Bio-renewables (LNBR) of CNPEM to understand the molecular mechanisms for the decarboxylation of fatty acids.

In the initial phase of the project, the focus will be on the production of renewable energy, which will be directed to the company’s energy operations.

In addition to CNPEM, the project will also involve international collaboration among researchers from Brazil and the Equinor Research Center in Norway.

Thus, Equinor invests in sustainability and environmental commitment for the coming years.

Turkey is building a billion-dollar shortcut to channel billions of dollars by sea with a 45 km long canal, 275 meters wide and 20.75 meters deep, which promises to relieve the Bosphorus amid the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

Raising tilapia, the most farmed fish in Brazil, with solar-powered tanks is a trend gaining strength in the field because the panels ensure water oxygenation in places without electricity and reduce costs, although profitability depends on management, feed, and market.

In just 24 days, China erected 7,733 foldable houses alongside nearly 10,000 tents and sheltered over 47,000 residents in one of the highest and most inhospitable regions on the planet, in what is considered the fastest housing deployment in history.
