Acelen Renewables

In Brazil, there are 109.7 million hectares of degraded pastures. These areas need to be reforested and cared for to preserve our species and mitigate carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Acelen Renewables will use sustainable management of macauba for the production of sustainable fuel in degraded pastures, avoiding the incentive for deforestation and impact on land-use changes. On Forest Protection Day, we reinforce the importance of truly sustainable initiatives that are necessary for environmental preservation and also to accelerate the energy transition. #ForestProtectionDay #AcelenRenewables #SustainableDevelopment #EnergyTransition

Acelen Renewables is at the forefront of innovation and sustainability, leading the global energy transition and fighting climate change with a new feedstock: macauba. This native plant of the Brazilian Cerrado has the unique ability to transform degraded and unproductive pastures into carbon-sequestering forests, enhancing biodiversity. By using advanced technology and sustainable management practices, we can utilize 100% of the macauba fruits, ensuring zero waste. We are ready to lead a new era of renewable fuels, aiming to produce 1 billion liters of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel (HVO) annually with this pioneering project in Brazil.

Our goal is to actively participate in the global energy transition. To achieve this, we are investing in our first unit for the production of renewable fuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel made from macauba. Check out our latest news this week: 🌱 We at Acelen Renewables took a significant step towards the domestication of macauba to produce sustainable fuels on a large scale by partnering with Embrapa and EMBRAPII. Our Director of Agribusiness, Victor Rafael B., wrote about the details and importance of this partnership. https://lnkd.in/d6MTAzH4

A new alliance emerges to develop Brazilian macauba with a focus on the global energy transition. Now, Embrapa Agroenergia is our open innovation partner aimed at contributing to the domestication of macauba, the establishment of commercial plantations, and the optimal use of its fruits (shell, pulp, endocarp, and kernel). The project will last five years and aims to develop more effective processes for extracting high-quality oils and generating bioproducts for the energy transition, offering renewable fuels on a large scale.

With a robust investment in research, we can ensure macauba germination rates above 70%, significantly higher than the natural rate of only 5%. Additionally, through genetic selection, it is possible to identify the most productive plants to efficiently produce macauba-based oil.

Macauba-based sustainable oil is a low-impact energy source with at least five distinctive qualities: 🌱 It's a renewable source; 🌱 Uses less water compared to other energy crops; 🌱 Can be cultivated in unproductive, degraded pasturelands; 🌱 Supports smallholders; 🌱 Reduces emissions compared to fossil fuels.

Extensive research and intelligence are applied in the production of sustainable fuel from macauba. From mapping the best lands for planting macauba trees to refining and distributing macauba oil while minimizing water usage and utilizing more sustainable resources, all these efforts are part of our production cycle, which we share in this video.

Our goal is to actively participate in the global energy transition. To achieve this, we are investing in our first unit for the production of renewable fuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel made from macauba. Check out our latest news this week: 🌱 Marcelo Lyra, Acelen’s VP of Communications, ESG, and Institutional Affairs, discusses his presentation at Ubrabio - I Fórum Biodiesel e Bioquerosene, focusing on Acelen Renewables’ initiative to produce sustainable aviation fuel from macauba. https://lnkd.in/dcnYgYfy 🌱 Yuri Orse, Director of Feedstock Certification at Acelen Renewables, talks about how Brazil is poised to join the ranks of countries with specific regulations for the carbon market, aligning the country with global decarbonization demands. https://lnkd.in/dcsAACCM 🌱 Victor Rafael B., Director of Agribusiness at Acelen Renewables, explains what degraded rangelands are and how Acelen Renewables is impacting these unproductive lands in Brazil. https://lnkd.in/dfk7KNss

To keep the planet from warming more than 1.5ºC above pre-industrial levels, we need to achieve rapid decarbonization. Acelen Renewables' project can help to reduce carbon emissions by up to 80% with renewable fuel made from macauba.

A Macauba forest covering 200,000 hectares can capture 60 million tons of CO2 from the atmosphere in 20 years. This way, it can transform the environmental and social landscape of the Brazilian semi-arid region and contribute to the global energy transition. Acelen Renewables participated in the documentary series produced by Reuters VISION 2045.
