Brazil for the Environment

ABOUT IT

The project implements a Innovative logistics route in the interior of Goiás, using a 100% powered truck running on biodiesel (B100). The initiative promotes reduction of up to 90% of CO₂ emissions compared to the use of fossil diesel, contributing directly to Energy transition and the decarbonization of heavy transport in Brazil.

Circular economy in practice

The truck transports raw materials such as beef tallow and residual oil, which are converted into biodiesel by the industry itself. This fuel, in turn, refuels its own vehicle, creating a closed and sustainable production cycle.

Results and Objectives

Objectives 

  • Reduction of 90% in CO₂ emissions in road transport.

  • Technical validation of the use of B100 biodiesel. in heavy vehicles.

  • Promoting a circular economy, making full use of waste and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

  • Diversification of energy sources used in the company's operations, with a focus on clean and renewable energy.

  • Generating new sustainable energy alternatives for potential sale to third parties.

  • Replicable model for other companies and sectors.

Results 

The project It became operational in April 2025. and it continues in continuous operation. He demonstrates the technical and environmental feasibility of B100, reinforcing the company's commitment to Innovation, sustainability, and meeting national decarbonization targets..
