Granol increases biodiesel capacity

The Brazil-based agribusiness company Granol is set to invest BRL10 million (€4.5 million) to boost the production capacity of biofuel at its biodiesel plant located in the state of Goias.

The facility currently produces 613m3 of biodiesel a day from soya oil, other vegetable oils and animal fat but Granol is looking to ramp up production to 1,033m3 a day.

In addition to this plant in the Anapolis district, the firm also owns a 9.33m3-a-day biodiesel production plant in Cachoeiras do Sul, southern Rio Grande do Sul state.
