Sumitomo Corporation signs MOU with Cemvita on integrated biomethane and bio-oil
In Brazil, Sumitomo Corporation do Brasil and Cemvita, Inc. recently announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on integrated bio-methane (Renewable Natural Gas, RNG) and renewable bio-oil (FermOil™) projects in Brazil. The partnership is focused on accelerating the deployment of low-carbon, waste-based fuels and strengthening Brazil’s position as a global hub for the circular bioeconomy.
Under the MOU, the companies will jointly evaluate the integration of Cemvita’s renewable bio-oil technology with RNG production at an initial facility in Brazil. The collaboration will assess approximately five waste and by-product feedstocks for their suitability to produce both RNG and renewable bio-oil, with the goal of maximizing carbon efficiency, operational synergies, and project economics. The parties will also explore opportunities to scale this integrated model across additional facilities and projects identified by both organizations.
