The New Biorrefinery That Will Produce Sustainable Fuel Will Be Established by Brasil BioFuels with the Offer of Hundreds of Jobs

The biofuels industry is on the rise in Brazil, and Brasil BioFuels (BBF) is leading the way. Recently, the CEO of the BBF Group, Milton Steagall, shared in an interview with Revista O Empreiteiro and the Site Amazônia Sustentável, the company’s ambitious plans for the use of palm oil as a raw material in the production of biofuels with the construction of a biorrefinery, according to the site Isto É.

This includes a new biorrefinery currently under construction in the Manaus Free Trade Zone, with the capacity to produce 500 million liters of Green Diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) annually. This promising initiative not only represents a technological advancement but also job creation for Brazil.

The Potential of Sustainable Fuels and the BBF Biorrefinery

BBF is investing about 2.2 billion reais in this innovative venture. What is even more noteworthy is that the biorrefinery has the potential to generate around 15,000 additional direct jobs. These job openings are not limited to the biofuels industry, as they will extend to both the agricultural and industrial sectors.

Palm Oil, the Green Pre-Salt

The choice of palm oil as a raw material for biofuels in the biorrefinery is not just a strategic decision, but also a sustainable choice. Milton Steagall emphasizes that the Brazilian palm production chain is ecologically and socially sustainable. This statement is supported by strict regulations, including the Agroecological Zoning of Palm Oil, which establishes guidelines for the sustainable cultivation of palm.

This innovation places Brazil in a unique position. The country has the potential to produce more than 240 billion liters of palm oil annually, a figure 30% higher than the amount of oil extracted by Petrobras in 2022. This creates an unprecedented opportunity to produce low-cost biofuels while keeping the Amazon untouched, creating thousands of jobs in the region.

This vision is supported by the commitment of the Federal Government to establish a solid regulatory framework for aviation biofuels and Green Diesel in Brazil. BBF has been actively involved in this process and intends to start supplying SAF and Green Diesel on a large scale a year ahead of schedule, contributing to Brazil’s commitment to the global energy transition.
