The BiodieselBR Conference has gathered industry specialists and debated the most important issues in the industry since 2007. This year, the discussions and the people will be reunited, but digitally. For the first time, we will hold the BiodieselBR Conference completely online.
The coronavirus pandemic has impacted the world drastically, and the biodiesel industry has not escaped. The year that marks the beginning of RenovaBio has turned into a period of uncertainty and change
Because of that, this year's event will discuss the future of the biodiesel market, including changes in auctions, in biodiesel blend, in production capacity and in raw materials markets. All in a format that stimulates the presentation of ideas and, mainly, the debate.
For 14 years the BiodieselBR Conference has been honored by the presence of icons and decision makers in the biofuels industry who gathered here to debate and define the next steps for biodiesel in Brazil. Today, the BiodieselBR Conference is the largest and main event in the sector in Latin America..
The BiodieselBR Conference has always been a showcase of the present and the future of the biodiesel industry in Brazil. Increases in the use and mixing of biodiesel, changes in the way it is negotiated, RenovaBio and several other important milestones were anticipated during previous editions of the event.













The 2019 edition brought together 250 people, including the industry main leaders. The discussions gave insights about the arrival of the new biodiesel blend, biodiesel auctions without Petrobras and the uncertainties with the beginning of RenovaBio.
More than the speakers, everyone present at the event has a high knowledge of the market. Because of this, the conference networking has become a much awaited moment. In the last few years this people participated annually in the discussions that collaborated to transform biodiesel into an important fuel in Brazil.
