Inactive Biodiesel Plant in MT May Return to Market This Year

The industrial unit in Alto Araguaia (MT), which has been inactive for some time, is preparing to be reactivated and will soon be on the list of inactive biodiesel plants getting ready to operate in the market again. The Alto do Araguaia plant was built by Agrenco, which is already scheduled to resume production by the end of this year (2021). The industrial unit will be given the suggestive name Fênix, referencing the brand that will reactivate its production and return to the market.

According to the website BiodieselBR, Fênix Biodiesel is led by entrepreneur and politician originally from Mato Grosso, Fábio Paulino Garcia. The brand is also linked to the business group headed by Eloi Vitorio Marchett.

The entrepreneur also mentioned that his goal is to get Alto Araguaia up and running with full excellence again, using its old method of crushing soybeans, producing meal and oil, manufacturing biodiesel, and cogenerating electricity.
