Biodiesel is a renewable fuel produced from vegetable oils and animal fats. Its chemical definition is that of a methyl or ethyl ester, obtained from a chemical process called transesterification. In Brazil, Biodiesel has been regulated since 2005 and is used to fuel heavy fleets, agricultural machinery and power generators, among others.
Biodiesel can partially replace the use of fossil diesel in engines. The mixture of Biodiesel and Diesel is known by the letter B followed by the percentage of biodiesel added. As of March 1, 2024, the new biodiesel blend with a proportion of 14%, also called B14, came into force, according to a resolution by the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE).

Our Biodiesel is produced from palm oil, grown by BBF in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest.
Since 2009 we have been pioneers in the production of biodiesel from palm oil, our main raw material, promoting socioeconomic development and environmental preservation for the Northern region. We are the largest palm oil producer in Latin America.
Our sustainable cultivation recovers degraded areas of the Amazon, generates around 5,000 direct jobs and income for isolated communities.
To guarantee the high quality of our biofuel, we test and certify BBF Biodiesel in reference laboratories in accordance with Resolution 45 of 25/08/2014, accredited by INMETRO in accordance with the ISO IEC 17025 standard, recognized in Brazil and internationally.
Since 2009 we have been producing Biodiesel in our plant located in Ji-Paraná (RO), called AmazonBio. The plant has the capacity to produce more than 64 million liters annually and its location is strategic, with easy access to the main logistics axes of the Northern region.
Biodiesel is a renewable and biodegradable biofuel. It does not contain sulfur, does not emit carcinogenic substances, and avoids carbon emissions. It plays a key role in the energy transition of several sectors such as logistics, agriculture, power generation, among others. Come decarbonize your business with BBF.
We are pioneers in the development of new biofuels to accelerate the decarbonization of the economy and promote the development of the Amazon.
The new biofuel will not require adaptations to engines or the need for blending, allowing replacement to occur immediately, generating enormous benefits for the planet. The production capacity will be more than 250 million liters annually, starting in 2026.
The new biofuel will reduce the emission of gases in our atmosphere by about 90% and will allow up to 100% reduction of sulphur emissions (SOX). The production capacity will be more than 280 million liters annually, starting in 2026.
We operate in the entire production chain, as a way to ensure the efficiency of the proposed solutions and the commercialized products.
