Biodiesel
in Brazil

Biodiesel arrived in Brazil in 2005 with the creation of the National Program for the Production and Use of Biodiesel (PNPB), which established targets for the product’s introduction into the national energy matrix.

At that time, biodiesel represented only 2% of the diesel blend. Over the years, as the importance of biodiesel became widely recognized, this share increased and, by 2021, reached 10% of all diesel sold in the country. A figure that can—and should—continue to grow in the coming years.

On this journey, our commitment to quality has made us experts in what we do and everything has expanded even further.

How
did we
Up to here?

One year after the product was introduced in Brazil, we established Binatural’s first plant. In 2006, our company became the pioneer in biodiesel production in the state of Goiás.

Binatural’s innovative efforts were strengthened through investment in new technologies, the creation of processes, workforce specialization, agility, and credibility in our relationships. As a result, our product has certified quality, and the company continues to experience consistent growth that aligns with the evolution of the industry.

In addition, one of Binatural’s core pillars is social and environmental responsibility. We put this into practice through environmental protection initiatives and social sustainability actions, such as participation in the National Program for Strengthening Family Farming (PRONAF) across several states in Brazil.

As a significant result of its bold spirit, positive energy, and transparency in relationships, Binatural was recognized in 2021 by the Financial Times as one of the 500 companies that contributed the most to the country’s economic and social development.
