Macauba and its leading role in the global energy transition

In this video you will learn about the studies carried out at the Federal University of Viçosa, in the state of Minas Gerais, on the cultivation of macauba for producing renewable energy.

An initiative that will accelerate the energy transition in Brazil and around the world, with Acelen Renewables as one of its main players. In this cultivation, we have achieved an extraordinary result in carbon sequestration. With focus on recovering degraded land, at least five agro-industrial centers will be established with macauba cultivation.

In total, there will be 200,000 hectares of forest in the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais, through public-private partnerships and the use of family farming, resulting in sequestration of 355 tons/ha of CO2. A new moment for producing energy from Macauba oil and generate global impacts.
