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.
