In Brazil, Vibra Energia has signed an exclusive commercialization contract for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that Brasil BioFuels (BBF) intends to produce in Brazil from 2025. The agreement is valid for five years and adds to the contract already signed between the parties for the purchase and sale of the green diesel HVO (acronym, for hydrotreating vegetable oil).
The raw material for biofuels will be the palm oil produced by BBF in the interior of Roraima. The refining will be made in a plant to be built in the Manaus Free Trade Zone (AM). This promises to be the first production plant of the two biofuels, on an industrial scale, in Brazil.
It is expected that about R$ 2 billion will be invested in the initial production of 500 million liters of biofuels per year. The unit is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025 and will be flexible – that is, it can produce between HVO and SAF.
