Brasil Ecodiesel is the largest biodiesel producer in Brazil with a nationwide presence. It has clear leadership in the domestic market in terms of installed capacity and biodiesel production. The company focuses on non-edible, high oil yield crops like castor and jatropha to produce biodiesel. It has an integrated operating process involving contracting farmers, raw material collection, oil extraction, and biodiesel delivery. The company aims to diversify its vegetable oil sourcing away from a reliance on soy oil.

2. Biodiesel aspects
• Biodiesel can be produced from any vegetable oil
such as soy, sunflower, rapeseed, palm or castor
plant, as well as from animal fat:
– Simple and well known production technology
• Renewable and alternative fuel:
– Perfect substitute to mineral diesel fuel - no
need to adapt diesel engines
– Positive energy balance on production
– Up to 78% reduction on carbon emissions
– Reduction of sulfur emissions
– Less risk to environment due to its
biodegradability
– Potential to support social and human
development on rural areas
The best potential biofuel to replace fossil fuels

consumers adoption of higher blends (B20 or B30)
• São Paulo urban transport company starting to use a B20 blend
• Municipality of Belo Horizonte antecipated to March 2007 the mandatory use of
B2 on urban transportation
• Several other companies are testing higher blends – steel, mining, energy
generation, railroads, road and urban transportation

14. Highlights after IPO
Positive:
• Start of operations of Crateús and Iraquara plants
• Acquisition of two crushing facilities
• Final phase of construction of 3 new plants
• Announcement of B5 anticipation to 2010
• Capex reduction due to optimization on production capacity and land
acquisitions
Negative:
• Ethanol demand in USA increased demand for corn
• Higher corn prices displaced land from soy to corn production
• In Brazil, plantation of corn caused insufficient sourcing of sunflower,
resulting in major soy oil dependency in 2007
• Delays on delivery due to off-takers´ logistic difficulties
