Brazil Ecodiesel increases production in Sao Luis - BRAZIL
The unit Itaqui, located in Maranhao, has a production capacity of 640,000 cubic meters of biodiesel per year and is located next to the marina, adjoining the tank farm Transpetro and the banks of the Carajas railroad, the highway connecting the port.
The Plant Itaqui Ecodiesel of Brazil, located in St. Louis, already accounts for nearly 4% of the national supply of biodiesel. Today the new company directors, Mauro Antonio Cechiari (CEO) and Charles Mann Taylor (Director of Relationship Marketing), will be the capital of Maranhão to inspect the refinery Itaqui and participate in a meeting with the governor Roseana Sarney, the 15h, the Palace of the Lions.
The hearing will be addressed matters relating to the Plant Itaqui producer of biodiesel in Maranhao, from ethanol and vegetable oils. The plant located in the backyard Itaqui Port is one of the few plants in operation in the Northeast.
The refinery Itaqui generates 180 direct jobs and has current capacity to meet an annual demand of the order of 120 million liters of biodiesel. Brazil Ecodiesel (Company) is the largest producer of biodiesel in Brazil, according to the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).
Auctions - Currently, the marketing of biodiesel in Brazil are carried out through public auctions organized by the ANP. Considering the results of all auctions carried out so far, Brazil Ecodiesel ensured the continuity of its leadership in the domestic market.
In order to meet the demand assured by the auctions, and consolidate its market leadership, the company now has 6 production plants in operation, with a total of 640 thousand cubic meters per year capacity biodiesel production. In order to maintain market leadership in Brazil, the Brazil Ecodiesel already have projects for capacity expansion of its plant and it will happen according to market needs.
Biodiesel can be used in conventional diesel engines without modifications, can also be mixed with mineral diesel in any proportion, allowing for their immediate inclusion in the energy matrix. Being a clean-burning fuel, the full use of biodiesel in diesel to a reduction of up to 78% in emissions of carbon dioxide, compared to mineral diesel, according to the International Virtual Institute of Global Change (IVIG).
The company is a leading producer of biodiesel on a commercial scale in Brazil and Its activities are a logical integration of industrial processes and efficient logistics for a type of origination of raw materials innovative and diverse, which includes direct talks in the vegetable oil market, the development of new chains of intensive agricultural production and the encouragement of family farming, with a view to promoting human and social development.
In this sense, Brazil Ecodiesel was one of the first biodiesel producer to obtain the Social Fuel Seal, certificate issued by the Ministry of Agrarian Development (MDA) for projects to produce biodiesel that meets the criteria dealing with regional integration and inclusion of family farmers in production chain biodiesel.Usina Itaqui should increase the production of biodiesel in 2010. The chief executive of Brazil Ecodiesel, Mauro Antonio Cerchiari, said yesterday that the company's goal to plant Itaqui in 2010 is to reach the maximum capacity of 100 million liters of biodiesel per year. Currently, the plant Maranhão produces 70 million liters per year. Cerchiari Mauro, who was in St. Louis, accompanied by the director of the Market Relations, Charles Mann de Toledo, and other executives, made his first visit to the plant Itaqui after he took command of Brazil Ecodiesel three months ago.
He also made a courtesy visit to Governor Roseana Sarney, who reported on the plans of Brazil Ecodiesel for the St. Louis plant, one of the few biodiesel fuel manufacturing plants in operation in the Northeast.
According to Mauro Cerchiari, the plan of St. Louis to be strategic for Brazil Ecodiesel, once serving the markets of North and Northeast, will undergo restructuring and process improvement in order to expand its production capacity.
The biodiesel plant Itaqui is sold to Petrobras through auctions conducted by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP). In the current quarter (October / December), the plant sold 15 million liters of biodiesel.
For the first quarter of 2010, when it is in effect a mixture of 5% biodiesel to diesel (B5), which will deliver 19 million gallons of biodiesel were sold at auction ANP held the 17th of this month, which represents 3.3% of national supply.
Today, 90% of the raw material used in the production of biodiesel in the country are derived from soybean oil. The remaining 10% come from the cotton, peanut, oil palm, sesame, sunflower, castor beans, canola and tallow or animal fat.
Brazil Ecodiesel, with six manufacturing plants (Maranhão, Rio Grande do Sul, Tocantins, Bahia, Ceara and Piaui), a pioneer country in the production of biodiesel on a commercial scale, had an initial experience with castor oil, but that was not very promising.
Today, Brazil has Ecodiesel soybean oil in its main raw material. The Plan of St. Louis, for example, is supplied by oil production ABC INCO, located in Porto Franco.
Alternatives - The company is looking for alternatives to soy, investing in other crops such as sunflower, cotton and even the tame. "There is a need to migrate to other raw materials, as well as the low oil content (between 18% and 20%), soy is a commodity, subject to market fluctuations, and also used as food," said the chief executive of Brazil Ecodiesel.
The company is betting, especially Jatropha, a plant native to the tropics that is emerging as an alternative raw material for biodiesel production, for their oil content is 0.38% for each seed, double the soybean.
So much so that Brazil Ecodiesel farms in Minas Gerais, Ceará, Piauí and Bahia already rely on the cultivation of Jatropha, for seed selection and research for large scale cultivation.
