Aspects of Biodiesel Production via Sugar-Ethanol Plants
• Integrated production system starting from oleaginous crop plantation (used in sugarcane rotation) through to Biodiesel;
• Possibility of using Biodiesel in the Plant’s own vehicle fleet (Machinery, trucks, engines, etc.) reducing fuel costs.
• Making use of the sugarcane plantation and industry structures, thus reducing investments and overhead production costs;
• Use of bioethanol as raw material (it takes 130 liters of bioethanol to produce 1 ton of Biodiesel);
• Immediate application in the Plant’s fleet.
• Sale of new commercial products: Biodiesel and glycerin
