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

“Our global strategic plan contemplates to continue impelling the diversification of the business of the holding, and, in this sense, starting from the investment in Carlos Casado we will impel our entrance in innovative areas such as the agrobusiness, the tourism and the nature conservation, the biopharmacy and the energy through the development of energetic cultivations”, Jacinto Rey declared.

After the setting in value of the main asset of 310.000 hectares in the Paraguayan Chaco, Jacinto Rey enlarged on its investments in biofuels, especially in the development of an experimental cultivation of the Jatropha Curcas bush.

It is a seed with high oily content, that presents a magnificent aptitude for the obtaining of biodiesel, it reproduces at great scale, it generates labor opportunity for not qualified manpower and it doesn’t outline the current so controversial dilemma of energy versus foods, since its characteristics impede it to be used for other means rather than energy.

This line starts from a closed agreement with the companies Patagonia Bioenergía and Celulosa Argentina.

The Sanjosé Group began its activity in Spain in 1975 with the construction as business unit, and it is present in another 10 countries: United States, France, Germany, Portugal, Morocco, the Argentina, Mexico, Peru, Dominican Republic and Panama where it gives employment to 5.000 people in direct way and it generates a global billing of 1.600 million Eurus.

While in the Argentina, their business have a strong protagonism in the world of the construction, the urban and real state development and civil works.

Through their companies, at the moment they are carrying out enterprises among wich stand out the Centro Comercial Panamerican Mall in alliance with IRSA; the restoration of the main room of the Teatro Colon; the urban development La Tablada; the administration of commercial centers; the works of the Instituto Universitario Naval, the Liceo and the petty officers residence; and important civil works in Mendoza’s county.
