A resolution was approved by the ANP board on Thursday (13) regarding the specification of green diesel in Brazil, a relatively new biofuel with a new commercial scope in Brazil. It is a renewable fuel for diesel cycle combustion engines, produced from renewable raw materials, such as fats of plant and animal origin, sugarcane, ethanol, and other biomasses.

The publication of the resolution is the result of the ANP’s analysis of the regulatory impact brought by the insertion of this new biofuel in the Brazilian market, as well as studies of international specifications.

During the Public Consultation phase, the ANP received 242 suggestions and comments regarding the original draft. The Public Hearing took place virtually on September 17, 2020, and was historic, lasting approximately eight hours with considerable social participation, showing the significant complexity and relevance of the subject.

The approved regulation is in line with the National Biofuels Policy (RenovaBio), as set forth by Law No. 13,576 of December 26, 2017, which aims to expand the use of biofuels, ensuring their participation in Brazil’s renewable matrix.

Furthermore, although there is currently no national production, the publication allows Brazil to be part of the list of international producers of advanced fuels, such as the USA, Italy, Finland, Singapore, Sweden, Spain, China, and France. In Brazil, the regulation of green diesel may also facilitate the production and commercialization of aviation biofuel, already regulated by ANP Resolution No. 778 of 2019, as the production of biofuels in the context of biorefineries generates different bioproducts in the same process. The publication of the specification constitutes the first step in the introduction of green diesel in Brazil.

ENGIE Creates Technology to Replace Jet Diesel at Brasília Airport

Innovative project allows for maintaining electrical and air conditioning systems of aircraft on the ground using renewable energy instead of diesel-powered equipment.

The new technology will enable a significant reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases. The expectation is that the equipment will reduce the emission of about 20,000 tons of CO₂ per year, equivalent to planting more than 120,000 trees, making the operation of Brasília Airport more economical and sustainable. In addition to reducing the carbon footprint, the system also decreases the noise caused by the engines of external equipment used by companies to keep the aircraft powered, as well as saving on aviation fuel, which has a high cost for companies.

Find Out How the Electric Car Market in Brazil is Doing in 2021

Have you ever imagined driving an electric car? Most people who drive would say yes. After all, this is the trend around the world. The high cost of fuels, the lower maintenance costs compared to conventional cars, and the fact that they are non-polluting are the main factors driving the electric car market in Brazil. Understand the direction of this national market published on the 3rd of this month.

Find Out How the Electric Car Market in Brazil is Doing in 2021

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.

Project created by a UFS student defeats European competitors in an engineering award held in Paris and highlights the advancement of Brazilian science with an innovative solution, developed in a public academic environment and recognized by international experts in the technological field.

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.
