Conteúdo: | Use of vegetable oils as fuels is strategic and of growing interest around the world. Brazil is the world leader in production and utilization of ethanol. Biodiesel is a challenge and Brazil can increase the production of several oil seed crops. "Pinhão manso", "babaçu", "nabo forrageiro", are local potential sources of oil for biodiesel. To promote socio-economical benefits to small farmers, the Brazilian government started a biodiesel program in the North and Northeast regions. Soybean oil performs 89% of total oil production and provides most of the oil required to comply the demand to mix 2% (B2) biodiesel in the diesel by 2008 (1 billion liters/year), and 5% (B5) by 2013 (2.4 billion liters/year). A production of 54.7 mmt of soybeans is expected in 2007/08. To comply with the need of B2 and B5, an increase in oil production and processing is needed. Co-products from biodiesel should yield products of high adding value. Main use of soybean, sunflower and canola co-products is for animal feed. Palm oil co-products, rich in cellulose and other exotic oil sources need studies to develop compatible uses. Research should focus in processing co-products as human food, animal feed, and non food uses. The call for renewable sources of energy will push industry to develop new products from biodiesel co-products.
