Petrobras progresses with biodiesel expansion
Brazil state-run oil company Petrobras has begun work on raising capacity at its Candeias biodiesel plant.
Petrobras aims to double capacity to 217.2 million litres a year from its current capacity of 108.6 million litres.
The Candeias plant is located alongside a Petrobras refinery near Salvador, Bahia State in northeast Brazil.
Candeias is sited on Todos Os Santos Bay and benefits from favourable logistics to receive raw materials and distribute the biodiesel along Brazil's coast.
The plant capacity increase will cost $36.5 million (€26.9 million) and will be completed by the end of 2010.
