According to studies by APROBIO, the Brazilian Biodiesel Producers Association, renewable diesel reduces approximately 70% of greenhouse gas emissions compared to mineral diesel (derived from oil) and 15% compared to biodiesel, for the same oil source. In comparison with biodiesel, the use of renewable diesel also improves engine performance, preventing issues such as clogging of filters, pumps, and injectors. The renewable diesel produced by Petrobras does not contain glycerin or metallic contaminants, and its molecules are identical to those of mineral diesel, allowing it to be mixed with diesel oil without restrictions.

Renewable diesel depends on regulation by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) to be marketed in Brazil. The results obtained will be reported to the ANP to contribute to the regulation of the product. The goal is to meet, along with the existing biodiesel, the portion of biofuel that must be blended with the diesel sold at gas stations. Currently, biodiesel is blended with mineral diesel at a minimum proportion of 12% by fuel distributors, and it will reach 15% by 2023.

Renewable Diesel Production

Renewable diesel is produced through the processing of renewable raw materials, such as vegetable oil or animal fats, along with mineral diesel in processing units within refineries. The process results in a product chemically identical to mineral diesel, with renewable origin, which is internationally known as Green Diesel, Renewable Diesel, Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), or Renewable Paraffinic Diesel.

Petrobras has a patented technology since 2006 for the co-processing of vegetable oils using the process called “HBIO”. This technology results in a fuel that is more stable than biodiesel. Although it is not used in the mixing of diesel in Brazil, renewable diesel is used in countries in Europe and the United States. The new fuel is suitable for the latest technologies of engines being introduced in Brazil.”

While Russia dominates the global wheat market, Brazil emerges as an unexpected competitor in the Cerrado, offering grain available in July and August when stocks in the Northern Hemisphere are at their lowest point of the year.

Archaeologists discover Roman vase buried for over 2,000 years with more than 175 intact gold and silver coins, revealing a desperate strategy to protect wealth during the collapse of the Empire.

The government puts R$ 8.6 billion on the table to change the highway (BR) with 50 overpasses, 28 bridges, 4 tunnels, and 40 km of bike lanes in 180 km of historic duplication.

With 241 meters, 48 thousand tons, and a structure designed to accompany aircraft carriers at sea, the Chinese ship that refuels fleets in motion was born to push Beijing away from the coast and has become the hidden gear of its naval projection.
