If Realized, Oleoplan’s Biodiesel Plant Will Be the First Project of the Company from the State of Pará. Many Jobs Could Be Generated

A new biodiesel plant from Oleoplan may be installed in the municipality of Tomé-Açu, in the state of Pará. The company from Rio Grande do Sul that operates in soybean processing and biodiesel production may build its first project in the state, where investments of R$ 148 million are expected. There is great expectation for the generation of more than 50 direct job openings, and thousands of indirect positions.

Investments and Jobs with the New Plant in Pará

The construction of the new biodiesel plant in the state of Pará was the main topic discussed in a meeting between the Director of Institutional Relations of Oleoplan, Leonardo Botelho Zilio, and the management of the Pará Economic Development Company (Codec), with the presence of the head of the state agency, Lutfala Bitar. During the meeting, the creation of new jobs was mentioned, and the expectation is to generate more than 50 jobs directly and thousands indirectly in the state of Pará.

In the meeting, another topic discussed was the installation of a second biodiesel plant in the municipality of Marabá, in the southeastern region of Pará, where the Pará Economic Development Company (Codec) is primarily responsible for managing the industrial district of the city.

Leonardo Botelho stated that the installation in Pará is a major strategy, where soybeans and palm are essential for biodiesel production. According to Botelho, it will be very beneficial to add value in the state through the biodiesel plant, considered an emerging sector, where Oleoplan achieves significant results and national prominence. He also emphasizes that the company’s move to Pará will enable the state, which currently stands out in the North and Northeast regions for palm production, to also excel in biodiesel, making it possible to supply this fuel even to other regions.

Manoel Ibiapina, Director of Investment Attraction at Codec, states that the new biodiesel plant in Pará will promote competitiveness, attract other investments, and generate new jobs. He highlights that the state is the largest producer of palm oil in Brazil and notes that it is very significant for attracting businesses like those in biodiesel, as the raw material is located in Pará.

Operations of Oleoplan Throughout Brazil

Currently, the company that operates in soybean processing and biodiesel production has two processing units for biodiesel and soybean production, one located in the city of Veranópolis (RS) and another in the municipality of Iraquara (BA). The biodiesel plant in Veranópolis is the largest in Rio Grande do Sul and, along with the plant in Iraquara, produces 10% of the national output of this biofuel.

In addition to the two industrial parks, the company has a corporate office in Porto Alegre (RS), a hydro terminal in the city of Canoas (RS) for the shipment of its exports, and more than 20 branches for grain reception spread across the northwestern and northeastern regions of Rio Grande do Sul.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.
