The president of the National Agency of Investment Developments, Beatriz Nofal and Jorge Piwko, director of Biodiesel del Plata, announced this morning the inauguration of a biodiesel plant using used vegetables oils.Â
Associated to spanish capitals, Piwko formed the company of renewable energy Ricard Set and with a total investment of u$s1,5 million the plant was built to produce biodiesel with an installed capacity of 1.200 monthly tons of biodiesel and 500 tons of industrial glycerine to 85% concentration, destinated to the export. It is forseen that the commercial production will begin in June.Â
Biodiesel del Plata is developing a plan of biodiesel elaboration starting from the gathering of used vegetables oils that will involve non governmental organizations, public and private schools, and beneficiaries of social plans and street collectors, creating ecological conscience and collaborating in the achievement of a clean and sustainable development in time.Â
This way, this initiative contributes doubly to reduce the levels of contamination. On one hand, because the vegetable oils of domestic use when they are degraded and poured by the drainages, they form films in the water that impede their oxygenation and they complicate the correct purification of the residual waters.Â
On the other hand, the biodiesel possesses aptitude to replace the fossil fuels in any conventional diesel motor providing significant reductions in the emanation of particles and of carbon monoxide in comparison with the petroleum diesel.Â
Also, their biological cycle in the production and the use reduces approximately in 80% the emissions of carbonic anhydride and almost 100% those of sulfur dioxide; and their combustion diminishes in 90% the quantity of total not burned hydrocarbons, and between 75-90% in the aromatic hydrocarbons.Â
ProsperAr will facilitate the access of Biodiesel del Plata to the support programs for the patenting that the national Government ahead is carrying out in the area of Science and Technology as well as the contacts with the authorities of investments of the county of Buenos Aires and their participation in commercial missions and international fairs.Â
