Acelen Renewables’ participation in COP30 reinforces Brazil’s protagonist role in the climate agenda and highlights the strategic and leading role of advanced biofuels — especially macauba — in decarbonizing the energy, transport, and agricultural sectors

During COP30, while the world debated ways to contain the climate crisis, Acelen Renewables presented real results, a scalable project and Brazilian solutions to accelerate global decarbonization.

We presented the full energy potential of macauba, a native Brazilian plant – a second- generation feedstock that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to those of fossil fuels.
