In India, BioEnergy Times reported that the state of Bahia, in Brazil, is gaining a stronger position in the biofuels sector as it continues to increase biodiesel production, expand exports to Europe, and reinforce its role in the shift toward renewable energy.
This progress is being driven by investments from Petrobras Biocombustível (PBio), upgrades at the Candeias Biodiesel Plant, and cooperation between the state government, industry, and workers, according to the report.
Since 2023, PBio has invested in modernizing the facility, introducing operational improvements and technical changes to meet international requirements. These measures have raised production capacity and enabled biodiesel from Bahia to enter tightly regulated markets such as Europe, it added.
In 2025, the plant completed two shipments of advanced biodiesel to Europe through the Port of Aratu.
