Petrobras set to start trialing HVO production

June 25, 2020 |

In Brazil, the Oil & Gas Journal reports that Petrobras will begin production tests at its Presidente Getúlio Vargas (REPAR) refinery in Araucária, Paraná where it is installed a 208,000-b/d renewable diesel unit. The unit uses Petrobras’ proprietary H-Bio process to produce HVO. Even though the company is starting production tests, it can’t yet market the fuel because the ANP fuel regulator is still finalizing regulations for renewable diesel. The country currently blends up to 12% biodiesel but HVO can be blended at much higher levels than biodiesel.
