)--The Brazilian biofuel pioneer, Be8, and the U.S.-based leader in the development of innovative biotech solutions, Cemvita, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Tuesday, January 21, at Brazil House, the country’s discussion space at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The MOU aims to develop the conversion of glycerin (a byproduct of biodiesel production) into low carbon feedstock to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)..

)--巴西生物燃料先驱Be8和美国创新生物技术解决方案开发领导者Cemvita于1月21日（星期二）在瑞士达沃斯世界经济论坛巴西馆签署了一份谅解备忘录（MOU）。该谅解备忘录旨在将甘油（生物柴油生产的副产品）转化为低碳原料，以生产可持续航空燃料（SAF）。。

The announcement was made on the morning of Tuesday, January 21, at Brazil House in Davos, Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum, in the presence of Tara Karimi, Cemvita Co-Founder and Chief Science and Sustainability Officer, and Erasmo Carlos Battistella, President of Be8.

1月21日（星期二）上午，在世界经济论坛期间，Cemvita联合创始人兼首席科学和可持续发展官塔拉·卡里米（TaraKarimi）和Be8总裁埃拉斯莫·卡洛斯·巴蒂斯特拉（Erasmo Carlos Battistella）在瑞士达沃斯的巴西大厦宣布了这一消息。

“We are now establishing an important partnership aimed at developing a new low-carbon value chain using residual raw material for the production of SAF by converting crude glycerin from Be8’s operations into sustainable bio-oil using our technology,” explained Moji Karimi, CEO at Cemvita, a leader in developing innovative biotechnological solutions that support sustainable energy..

Cemvita首席执行官莫吉·卡里米（MojiKarimi）解释说：“我们现在正在建立一个重要的合作伙伴关系，旨在开发一个新的低碳价值链，利用剩余原料生产SAF，通过使用我们的技术将Be8运营中的粗甘油转化为可持续的生物油。Cemvita是开发支持可持续能源的创新生物技术解决方案的领导者。。

“There is a growing demand from SAF produced from residual and circular feedstock and we are very excited to help the aviation industry deliver its long-term ambitious goals to reduce emissions with this innovative solution,” celebrated Erasmo Carlos Battistella, President of Be8, the leading biodiesel producer in Brazil and the largest exporter of glycerin in the country.

巴西领先的生物柴油生产商、国内最大的甘油出口商Be8总裁埃拉斯莫·卡洛斯·巴蒂斯特拉（Erasmo Carlos Battistella）表示：“SAF对剩余和循环原料的需求不断增长，我们非常高兴能够帮助航空业实现其长期雄心勃勃的目标，通过这种创新的解决方案减少排放。”。

He highlighted that, once again, Be8 shows its innovation DNA, whether developing in-house or seeking partnerships like this one with Cemvita..

他强调说，Be8再次展示了它的创新DNA，无论是在内部发展还是寻求与Cemvita这样的合作伙伴关系。。

“It is a pleasure to establish this strategic collaboration with Cemvita, which contributes its expertise in industrial biotechnology, and synthetic biology within a Circular Bioeconomy model that will enable us to produce a very low carbon SAF,” said Battistella. He highlighted the work developed by the new business team led by Tulio Abi-Saber, Be8's Vice President of Finance..

Battistella说：“很高兴与Cemvita建立这一战略合作，Cemvita在循环生物经济模型中贡献了其在工业生物技术和合成生物学方面的专业知识，这将使我们能够生产非常低碳的SAF。”。他强调了由Be8财务副总裁Tulio Abi Saber领导的新业务团队所开展的工作。。

Vision for Brazil’s Future Bioeconomy

巴西未来生物经济展望

Be8 believes the energy transition challenge will be addressed through a combination of different solutions. The company is already a leader in the production of biodiesel and has recently announced a large-scale ethanol plant in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The current partnership with Cemvita to strengthen the SAF value chain, reinforces Be8's long term goal to become sustainable biofuel solutions provider..

Be8认为，能源转型挑战将通过不同解决方案的组合来解决。该公司已经是生物柴油生产的领导者，最近宣布在巴西南里奥格兰德州建立一家大型乙醇工厂。目前与Cemvita的合作旨在加强SAF价值链，强化了Be8成为可持续生物燃料解决方案提供商的长期目标。。

Cemvita’s approach is rooted in collaboration, with plans to partner with local industries and research institutions to accelerate the adoption of circular bioeconomy principles. By introducing technologies that convert carbon emissions into sustainable feedstocks for SAF and other sustainable products, Cemvita envisions a future where Brazil becomes not only a leader but also a global hub for sustainable fuel innovation..

Cemvita的方法植根于合作，计划与当地行业和研究机构合作，以加速采用循环生物经济原则。通过引入将碳排放转化为SAF和其他可持续产品的可持续原料的技术，Cemvita设想了巴西不仅成为领导者，而且成为可持续燃料创新的全球中心的未来。。

“For decades, Brazil has been a pioneer in bioeconomy, and now the time has come to create the future of circular bioeconomy,” said Moji Karimi, CEO of Cemvita. “Our vision is to combine the innovation for which Cemvita is known with Brazil’s expertise and resources to create an ecosystem where waste becomes opportunity, and sustainability drives growth.

Cemvita首席执行官莫吉·卡里米（MojiKarimi）表示：“几十年来，巴西一直是生物经济的先驱，现在是创造循环生物经济未来的时候了。”。“我们的愿景是将Cemvita的创新与巴西的专业知识和资源相结合，创造一个生态系统，让废物成为机会，可持续发展推动增长。

By partnering with Brazilian stakeholders, Cemvita intends to develop Brazil’s bioeconomy legacy, while also laying the groundwork for a circular and sustainable future.”.

通过与巴西利益相关者合作，Cemvita打算发展巴西的生物经济遗产，同时也为循环和可持续的未来奠定基础。”。

Glycerin

甘油

Glycerin is a byproduct of biodiesel production. During the transesterification process, which converts vegetable oils or animal fats into biodiesel, glycerin is generated as a coproduct. It has several applications in various industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food. In this case, the innovation will contribute to using glycerin as a raw material for producing biofuel that will support the decarbonization of the aviation sector..

甘油是生物柴油生产的副产品。在将植物油或动物脂肪转化为生物柴油的酯交换过程中，甘油作为副产物产生。它在各种行业有多种应用，包括化妆品、制药和食品。在这种情况下，这项创新将有助于使用甘油作为生产生物燃料的原料，从而支持航空部门的脱碳。。

A working group formed by professionals from both companies will now conduct a detailed technical and economic feasibility study on the proposed bio-oil production process, including the details of a collaborative business model, and the investment estimates for a glycerin-to-SAF raw material conversion plant in Brazil..

由两家公司的专业人员组成的工作组现在将对拟议的生物油生产工艺进行详细的技术和经济可行性研究，包括合作商业模式的细节，以及巴西甘油到SAF原料转化厂的投资估算。。

The studies will also include the usage of the sustainable bio-oil, obtained from the new partnership, as a feedstock in the Omega Green Project. The initiative is a world class bio-refinery that will produce SAF, Renewable Diesel and Green Naphtha, located in Paraguay.

这些研究还将包括使用从新伙伴关系获得的可持续生物油作为欧米茄绿色项目的原料。该倡议是一家世界级的生物炼油厂，位于巴拉圭，将生产SAF、可再生柴油和绿色石脑油。
