The businessmen will present today morning the details to the minister Bertero. Who is behind the millionaire investment? Where will it be? Patagonia BioEnergÃa, a company of argentine capitals, will build in the city of San Lorenzo the biggest plant in biofuels of the Argentina. The president of the company, Gabriel Obrador, will travel today to the city of Santa Fe with its main directives, among them Federico Pochat, to present the proyect to the minister of Production Juan José Bertero in the morning. The plant, that is already in construction, will be one of the biggest and most efficient of the world and it will begin to operate in June. In its first stage, it will have a capacity of production of 250.000 tons of biodiesel per year, and it will be duplicated in the second phase. Although initially it will use raw soya oil as raw material, a novelty of the enterprise of Patagonia BionergÃa is that it will be progressively replaced by jatropha oil.  The decision is not casual because it will allow to the company to make synergy with others of its business: the development of alternative oleaginous cultivations (inedible), as the Jatropha curcas, whose oil will replace the soya oil for the biodiesel production in the medium term. The jatropha is a plant that comes from America, that has high yields of oil even in very marginal lands, not competing-therefore-with other nutritious cultivations neither for the floor nor for the water. According to the papers that will be presented today to Bertero, the plant has last generation technology provided by Desmet-Ballestra, the German leader in the production of plants for the oil industry and oleochemical, it will also fulfill the strictest European norms as for quality, security and environmental hygiene. Who is behind this? Patagonia BioenergÃa is formed by the association of two Argentinean companies, with several years of operation in the country, and financial investors. The two companies are Cazenave y Asociados S.A., a company of services for the agroindustry with almost 40 years of growth, and EnergÃa & Soluciones S.A., a company that commercializes energy, mainly of natural gas and fuels. By Mariano GalÃndez Courtesy of Punto Biz for Nextfuel Argentina Biodiesel.com.ar Deje un comentario |
