With the new authorization, the Bahia plant will be able to produce up to 468,000 m³ of biodiesel per year, equalizing the installed capacity of the production unit of the Oleoplan plant in Veranópolis (RS). The two units will share the fourth position in the ranking.

About Oleoplan

For over 40 years, Oleoplan has operated in the soybean processing sector, and in 2007, with the start of biodiesel production, it was a pioneer in the sector in Rio Grande do Sul. Today, they have two soybean processing and biodiesel production units, one in Veranópolis (RS) and another in Iraquara (BA). The biodiesel plant in Veranópolis is the largest in Rio Grande do Sul and, together with the plant in Iraquara, produces 10% of the national production of this biofuel.

In addition to the two industrial parks, Oleoplan has a corporate office in Porto Alegre (RS), a waterway terminal in Canoas (RS) for exporting its products, and more than 20 branches for receiving grains spread across the northwestern and northeastern regions of Rio Grande do Sul. Together, the branches have a storage capacity of over 500,000 tons and form a support network for thousands of family agriculture suppliers, providing training and ongoing technical assistance to these farmers.

About Oleoplan

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.

China returned nearly 20 Brazilian ships with soybeans and now threatens up to $60 billion of the national agribusiness with a plan to cut imports, reduce beef purchases, and decrease Chinese demand for the grain by 25% by 2030.

Brazil exports 1.5 million tons of beef to China, but the tariff-free quota covers only 1.1 million, and now the government is rushing to renegotiate the cap before the sector pays a 55% tax on nearly 400,000 tons of surplus.
