Petrobras says ready to launch soy-based renewable diesel upon regulatory approval - Reuters
Petrobras is ready to produce renewable diesel from soy or other edible oils at commercial scale and will expand investments in the segment as soon as it is granted a sales permit, the company's refining head, Anelise Lara, told reporters on Friday.
Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as the company is formally known, is awaiting approval from Brazil's oil regulator ANP, after the company concluded tests this month. Petrobras refined 2 million liters of soy oil in one of its Southern refineries, resulting in 40 million liters of renewable diesel.
