August 18, 2025 [Biofuels International]- Cemvita has signed an engagement agreement with Invest RS, formalising its plan to build a facility in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, for the production of FermOil™.

This sustainable oil will be used as feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production. The plant will also produce FermNPK™, an innovative biofertiliser that supports regenerative agriculture.
Earlier this year, Cemvita announced a partnership with Be8, a biofuel pioneer, also located in Rio Grande do Sul to strengthen the SAF value chain, reinforcing Be8’s long term goal to become sustainable biofuel solutions provider.
“Rio Grande do Sul takes another important step toward becoming a global reference in innovation and bioeconomy. This partnership with Cemvita reinforces our commitment to sustainability, the attraction of high-impact investments, and the creation of opportunities for the people of Rio Grande do Sul in strategic sectors such as renewable energy, agriculture, and industry,” stated acting governor Gabriel Souza.
The facility will be used to produce low-carbon oil derived from crude glycerol, which will serve as feedstock for the production of SAF.
The site will also produce a biofertiliser that supports regenerative agricultural practices. Earlier this year, Cemvita announced a partnership with Be8, a biofuel pioneer also based in Rio Grande do Sul, to strengthen the SAF value chain—reinforcing Be8’s long-term goal of becoming a provider of sustainable biofuel solutions.
