Be8 launches new biofuel for use as much as 100% in diesel engines.
Be8, the nationwide chief in biodiesel, introduced on Monday (02/10) an unique product that may revolutionize the biofuels market. Be8 BeVant is a bi-distilled methyl ester, the results of a course of that generates high quality and efficiency beneficial properties, which permits the product to be added 100% or combined with diesel oil, anticipating a number of of the advantages of inexperienced diesel – HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), beneath extra aggressive business situations.
Erasmo Carlos Battistella, president of Be8, stated:
This nice innovation is the outcome of the expertise we’ve got gained with our know-how of greater than 18 years of operation and, in fact.
“with our investments in Europe (the place the corporate operates a biodiesel plant in Switzerland) and the information acquired in the USA and within the examine section of the superior biofuels challenge,”
The corporate will make investments R$ 80 million contemplating the analysis, growth and growth of a manufacturing line within the present unit in Passo Fundo (RS), with a capability of 150 million liters/yr. The manufacturing begin forecast is 12 months and the capability might be shortly expanded to the Marialva (PR) unit. “We’ve got not dominated out additionally establishing manufacturing licenses in order that the Be8 BeVant can meet all of the demand that arises,” Battistella defined.
The product will probably be supplied at an estimated value of about 50% decrease* than that practiced at the moment within the worldwide marketplace for Inexperienced Diesel (HVO).
Decarbonization alternative
The Be8 BeVant is right for firms that eat massive volumes of conventional diesel oil and are dedicated to decreasing their emissions within the brief time period. The product will be capable of provide energy producing tools and the road of heavy equipment for processes within the areas of civil development, agribusiness and earthmoving. The corporate can even act to satisfy the calls for of the logistics sectors for the manufacturing of ores, public transport and cargo in highway, sea and rail modes.
The product arrives in the marketplace exactly many firms are searching for methods to satisfy the Sustainability/ESG targets introduced to cut back or zero the emission of greenhouse gases. Biofuels are the best approach to decarbonize the circulating fleet in Brazil at the moment, contemplating that, based on ANFAVEA, 99.55% of three-year-old vehicles are powered by diesel, and don’t attain 1,500 models powered by electrical energy or gasoline.
“We’re speaking about a right away resolution, which doesn’t rely on funding in infrastructure or engine change, in comparison with different technological routes akin to hydrogen, biomethane and electrical car, with a excessive affect for the depollution of huge city facilities within the brief time period,” says Battistella.
Patent granted
Be8 has already been granted the Invention Patent No. BR 102022019345-2, of the Nationwide Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), for the Manufacturing Strategy of the brand new product. The take a look at section on Euro V engines, on the take a look at bench, was overcome and proved the benefits and traits of the product.
With greater ester content material, it reduces as much as 50% the emissions of CO (carbon monoxide), as much as 85% the emission of particulate matter and as much as 90% black smoke. The standard is confirmed with greater lubricity, contemplating ULSD (Extremely Low Sulfur Diesel) most of two ppm, the monoglyceride content material under 0.25%, the overall residual contamination under 2 ppm and presents 35% much less water content material.
Because the specs are greater than the minimal necessities at present accepted (ANP 920/2023), the Nationwide Company of Petroleum, Pure Fuel and Biofuels (ANP) will solely authorize mixtures greater than B12 for the belief of a Proof of Idea (PoC) in partnership with engine producers and fleet house owners.
“We don’t rule out providing the product for export, however our most popular focus is the home market, which wants a 100% renewable resolution. Thus, we reinforce our dedication to be a renewable power firm that implements new power matrices via a round ecosystem of innovation, contributing to much less polluted areas and more healthy populations, nonetheless within the current, and reinventing the longer term”, concludes Battistella.
Benefits of Be8 BeVant
- The combination could also be elevated as much as 100 %;
- Be8 BeVant doesn’t change the colour of the ultimate gas, as it’s a clear and clear product (remnants of yellow);
- Product thought-about as ULSD (Extremely Low Sulfur Diesel);
- Gasoline with low acidity index;
- Freed from contaminants;
- Excessive ester content material, bettering combustion;
- Wonderful chilly circulate properties;
- Given the absence of contaminants in Be8 BeVant, it may be dosed in bigger portions in fossil diesel, conferring larger lubricity and shelling out with the usage of chemical components.
