On Family Farming Day, we emphasize the importance of developing an energy transition project that will plant macaúba — a native tree that will help recover 180 thousand hectares of degraded pastures in the Brazilian Cerrado— where 20% of these lands are maintained in partnership with family farmers and small producers. #FamilyFarming #MacaubaSeed #Macauba #EnergyTransition #AcelenRenewables
About us
A pioneering project that will take Brazil one step further in the global energy transition. The first renewable fuel derived from a native Brazilian species, macauba. The fuel of the future.

To lead Brazil in the global energy transition, we are conducting a series of research studies and cultivating macaúba in degraded, unproductive pastures of the Brazilian Cerrado—a biome rich in diversity but greatly affected by devastation. Learn more about the characteristics and peculiarities of the Cerrado. #Cerrado #SustainableFuels #AcelenRenewables #Biodiversity #Reforestation #EnvironmentalPreservation #EnergyTransition

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: 🌱 Our VP of ESG Communications and Institutional Relations, Marcelo Lyra, shared insights on how the demand for SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) can impact the trading of soy, ethanol, and even soup. https://lnkd.in/e56gicNf 🌱 Our Director of Agribusiness, Victor Rafael B., shared an article about how macauba is a highly promising and sustainable solution to address the large-scale feedstock supply problem. https://lnkd.in/epCPvsjn 🌱 Our Senior Executive, Cristiano Costa, shared a piece on the challenges that areas such as regulation, certification, and taxation still face in improving the production of sustainable fuels and achieving the goal of a sustainable transition. https://lnkd.in/eFuMt9yF

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.
