Biodiesel MAPA Approach
Frederique Abreu, PhD General Coordinator of
Agrienergy
2
Agroenergy Productive Chain

• From the harvesting of raw materials
• Until the processing and use of them for the
  production of biofuel

3
MAPA Competences

• To stimulate the production of raw materials to
  ensure the supply and stimulate the growth of
  renewable energy
• To develop policies for a sustainable agri
  energetic market, which contemplate relevant
  issues such as prices and supplies
• To foment the growth of oilseeds with higher oil
  content, suitable for biodiesel processing.

4
Departament of Sugar Cane and Agroenergy

• To coordinate and foment the first step of the
  chain raising plants for energy generation, in
  an articulated way with the other Ministries
  involved with the other steps of the agrienergy
  chain (MME, MDIC, MMA e MCT)

5
Prioritary Actions

• Registering new PPA actions
• Research on oilseeds
• Technological development
• Structuring the productive chain (creating the
  National Agrienergy Trust)
• Develop agronomic research to identify oilseeds
  with higher rates of agriculture and industry
  productivity and to raise known species
  productivity

7
Prioritary Actions

• Creating a research unity to develop improvement
  technologies, production, using co-products to
  the different raw materials involved in biodiesel
  and ethanol production
• Aim the balanced growth of the agrienergy market,
  considering also the balance with the food market.

8
Expected Achievements

• Balance between supply and demand in biofuel
  market
• Balance between the agrienergy and food
  agriculture markets
• Managing supplies to ensure the regular provision
  of biomass and biofuels, as well as price
  stability of agrienergy and food agriculture
  markets
• New processing technologies spread and adopted

9
Expected Achievements

• Agriculture viability and potentially
  bioenergitic suitable lands according to official
  rules
• Environmental risk and offer
• Inputs availability
• Agricultural machinery and supplies
• Infra-structure and logistics
• Financial capacity
• Support development activities (RD, technical
  assistance and rural extension, fiscal and
  financial incentives.

10
Expected Achievements

• Domain of new oilseeds agronomic and botanical
  cycles
• Development of new cultivars for known oilseeds
• Use of byproducts in biodiesel making.

11
Performance Pointers

• Volume of biodiesel liters produced in Brazil /
  year
• Number of technologies and /or innovations on
  biodiesel processes patented / year
• Number of new biofuel processing plants
• Number of new varieties with high oil rate
  cultivated / year
• Number of projects supported by the MAPA
