Agropalma, the largest producer of sustainable palm oil in the Americas, has started works on reactivating an industrial plant to produce biodiesel in the state of Pará. “The company expects to start operating by the end of 2023. The company initially expects to produce 18,000 cubic meters of biodiesel a year”, said Edison Delboni, Director of Refinery Operations at Agropalma. The strategy is to continue selling palm-based oils and fats solutions with high added value for industries, especially food and cosmetics. The priority focus will be to supply the North and Northeast regions, locations further away from national refineries and, therefore, more dependent on fuel imports.
