ABOUT IT
The project's Brazilian Biofuels Ltd (BBL) develops BBL DX, an advanced biofuel produced from Recycled waste oils and non-edible vegetable oils.
The product is 100% renewable, miscible with fossil diesel and biodiesel in high proportions and presents sulfur content less than 10 mg/kg. The technology, patented with the INPI (Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property), uses dry production process, without generating liquid effluents, resulting in a stable fuel with high thermal efficiency and compatible with conventional diesel engines.
The project focuses on Industrial deployment and commercial expansion of BBL DX technology, with a pilot plant installed in Macaíba (RN) and forecast of future units in Paulínia (SP), Ribeirão Preto (SP), Salvador (BA) e Anápolis (GO).
Results and Objectives
The project aims to consolidate the industrial production of BBL DX biofuel, contributing to the diversification of the energy matrix and the utilization of oily waste.
Main objectives:
Implement a modular production unit with initial capacity of 12 million liters/year, with the possibility of expansion up to 500 million liters/year.
Validate fuel usage in transport, power generation, shipping and aviation (SAF) sectors.
Reuse approximately annually 13.2 million liters of greasy waste, equivalent to 11,868 tons of oily solid waste.
Reduce emissions of NOx and SOx levels up to 98% and of CO₂ in approximately 74% in relation to conventional diesel.
To save money approximately 60 million liters of water/year, due to the dry production process.
Reduce potential contamination by up to 13 billion liters of potable water/year, resulting from the improper disposal of used oils.
To generate Direct jobs in the areas of engineering, operations and logistics. during the implementation phase.
Expected technical and environmental results:
Installation and commissioning of the 12 million liter/year industrial plant up to 2026.
Scaling up to 60 million liters/year until 2028.
Proven reduction in atmospheric emissions and increased fuel stability.
Energy efficiency equivalent to or greater than that of fossil diesel, with reduction of 5 to 10% in consumption per hour of operation in generators.
Validation of the use of BBL DX in generators, vehicles and vessels in field tests.
