Speaking in the Chamber of Commerce Brazil-France, Cunha declared that they already have contacts with French and Spanish companies keeping in view the installation of biodiesel factories that will use brazilian raw material.  “We are seeing the possibility to develop biofuels production projects in Europe. And since the European energy matrix is based on gasoil, it could be initially a biodiesel production plant”, Cunha said. The executive made it clear that the negotiations are still in the “embryonic”stage, but he pointed out that companies of the two mentioned countries established contact with Petrobras to discuss combined projects. They also have conversations in that sense with Colombian authorities, that would also include the production of ethanol and the establishment of biofuel distribution nets. He also said that in the two “premium” refineries that the company will build in the Northeast region of Brazil generating units of electricity will be used starting from biomass and this will be used as preservative of the petroleum. Of the two refineries that will be built in the states of Maranhao and Ceará, with processing capacities of 600.000 and 300.000 daily barrels, the first one should be that of Ceará whose cost was estimated in 6.800 million dollars. “It petroleum will be refined together with biofuels, in a new concept that is that of the ‘biorefineries”, said the executive.  Nextfuel Argentina-Biodiesel.com.ar Deje un comentario |
