Data Released by ANP Showed That Biodiesel Production Was Not Encouraging for the Mills, but There Was Improvement Compared to 2020

The ANP – National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels, showed that biodiesel production, a liquid biofuel considered a renewable energy source, was 489.3 thousand cubic meters at the beginning of the year. It is relatively common for the market to experience a slowdown at the beginning of each year. Typically, the months of January and February are the weakest.

The RenovaBio Program:

The main instrument of RenovaBio is the establishment of annual national decarbonization targets for the fuel sector, in order to encourage the increase in production and participation of biofuels in the country’s energy transport matrix.

Producers and importers of biofuels who wish to join the program will hire accredited inspection firms from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) to carry out the Biofuel Certification and validation of the Energy-Environmental Efficiency Note and the eligible volume.

Four More Biodiesel Plants Join the RenovaBio Decarbonization Program

The RenovaBio Program:

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

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.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

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.

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.

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.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar signed the agreement to connect Riyadh to Doha with a high-speed train traveling at 300 kilometers per hour, covering 785 kilometers of desert in about two hours.

Can buying a small farm become a trap? When the dream of weekend relaxation turns into weeds, maintenance, bad roads, and endless expenses.
