Be8 and Cemvita sign MOU to develop glycerin into SAF feedstock

In Switzerland, Be8 and Cemvita signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Tuesday, January 21, at Brazil House, the country’s discussion space at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The MOU aims to develop the conversion of glycerin (a byproduct of biodiesel production) into low carbon feedstock to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

Be8 believes the energy transition challenge will be addressed through a combination of different solutions. The company is already a leader in the production of biodiesel and has recently announced a large-scale ethanol plant in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The current partnership with Cemvita to strengthen the SAF value chain, reinforces Be8’s long term goal to become sustainable biofuel solutions provider.
