Year
Biodiesel in Petrobras
First phase of Petrobras program: implementation of 3 biodiesel units in
Northeast region and Brazilian semiarid. Each unit consists of a plant for
multi-oleaginous species of 50 thousand tons/year.

Production Route: Oil

Oleaginous species considered: soybean, castor bean, cotton, and


jatropha

Species Location:
Quixad (CE)
Candeias (BA)
Montes Claros (MG)

Other phases: production units to be installed in other regions

Goal: in 2011 produce 855 thousand cu.m/y

Partnerships are being studied to implement other units

Plants will be producing in January 2008

Final Comments
Final Comments

Biofuels will play a significative role in the fuel transportation market;

Competitive price and overall efficiency will be demanded by the market;

Need to qualify the work force and keep the pace of the technological
development by the domestic ethanol industry, aiming competitive costs;

PETROBRAS shall keep on investing to adjust the profile of the


production to the profile of the demand of oil products and for the
production of cleaner fuels;

Petrobras HBIO process is a technological breakthrough which yields


renewable fuels;

PETROBRAS shall keep on investing to develop fuel ethanol international


markets, improving brazilian logistics infrastructure and researching new
technologies for ethanol production (lignocellulosic process).
