Uruguayan Company Set to Export Biofuel to The Netherlands
Uruguay is making waves in the biofuel industry with its latest venture to export 300 tons of biofuels to The Netherlands from ALUR’s corn oil distillery in Montevideo’s Capurro neighborhood. This marks a significant milestone as it is the first time biodiesel productions from distillery corn oils will be sent abroad.
The biofuel produced by ALUR has caught the eye of the European market due to its impressive environmental benefits, particularly its ability to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 85% compared to traditional fossil diesel.
Here are some key points regarding ALUR’s biofuel export to The Netherlands:
- The 300 tons of biofuel were manufactured at the Capurro plant through the revaluation of a fatty by-product derived from bioethanol production at the Paysandú plant.
- The export manager of ALUR’s Capurro plant, Ignacio Pérez, highlighted the unique qualities of the biodiesel produced at their facility, emphasizing its export quality and high environmental value in Europe.
- A total of 10 tanks were loaded and sent to a storage facility to await the export date, showcasing the efficiency and readiness of ALUR’s operations.
- The Capurro plant underwent the renewal of its international sustainability and carbon certification (ISCC) to ensure compliance with European market standards for biofuels derived from biomass.
ALUR, a prominent agro-industrial company in Uruguay, focuses on refining sugar, alcohol distillation, and biofuel production. Established in 2006, the company has three plants strategically located in Capurro, Paysandú, and Bella Unión.
With a commitment to sustainability and innovation, ALUR continues to be a key player in the biofuel industry, setting new standards for environmentally friendly fuel alternatives.
In conclusion, ALUR’s export of biofuel to The Netherlands signifies a significant step towards promoting sustainable energy solutions and reducing carbon emissions in Europe. It is a testament to Uruguay’s dedication to environmental conservation and eco-friendly practices in the global market. Let us continue to support initiatives that prioritize the health of our planet and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
