Promising Partnership in Sustainable Energy Production May Bring More Innovation

Vibra, a Brazilian giant in fuel and energy distribution, and Inpasa, a leader in renewable fuel production in Latin America, announced a strategic partnership. The non-binding Memorandum of Understanding between the two companies marks the beginning of studies for the manufacturing and marketing of green methanol. This step represents a significant innovation for Vibra, and expands its reach into a new market segment focused on sustainable solutions for maritime transport.

Innovation in Renewable Fuels

The agreement focuses on the development of green methanol, derived from by-products of ethanol, with the main objective of supplying the maritime and industrial sectors. The companies will assess the feasibility of installing a dedicated plant for the production of this green methanol. The partnership will also explore the best business structure to advance this initiative, reinforcing the history of successful collaborations between Vibra and Inpasa.

Ernesto Pousada, CEO of Vibra, highlights the importance of this business for building a green methanol industrial chain. The initiative is vital for maritime transport companies to reduce their carbon footprint and offer more sustainable services.

Inpasa, for its part, plans to capture the CO2 emitted during ethanol production, using it to obtain green methanol. This process results in a low-carbon energy source, representing a significant alternative to fossil fuels.

Founded in 2007 in Paraguay, Inpasa today stands out among the largest global structures in its segment. The company uses renewable inputs, such as biomass from various sources, converting them into steam and electricity. This not only ensures energy self-sufficiency but also reflects a lower carbon footprint.

Inpasa is known for its DDGS, used in animal nutrition, and for cereal oil, essential for biofuels and feed manufacturing. With its IOP Technology, the company also significantly contributes to agriculture. Currently, it has three plants in operation in Brazil and two under development.

Vibra: Leadership and Evolution in the Energy Market

A leader in the fuel and lubricants distribution market in Brazil, Vibra stands out for offering energy and mobility alternatives aligned with ESG practices. With a network of 8,300 fuel stations and franchises such as BR Mania and Lubrax+, Vibra establishes itself as a dominant force in the sector. Its comprehensive logistical presence allows it to serve a wide range of clients across various segments, including aviation, transport, industries, and agribusiness.

Vibra has been dedicated to investing in renewable energies, with a portfolio that includes companies such as Comerc, Zeg, and EZVolt, in addition to the joint venture Evolua Etanol with Copersucar. These investments, totaling around R＄ 4 billion, reflect the company’s commitment to lead the energy transition in Brazil. With this strategy, Vibra is on track to become one of the leading energy companies in the country, focused on sustainable and innovative solutions.

The partnership between Vibra and Inpasa represents a significant step in promoting sustainable energy solutions. Through the production of green methanol, both companies demonstrate their commitment to innovation and sustainability, paving the way for a greener future in the energy and transport sectors.
