Be8 Energy is one of Brazil’s largest and most innovative bioenergy
companies — founded in 2005 in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul as BSBIOS,
and rebranded as Be8 in 2023 to reflect its global ambition and expanded
portfolio. Part of the ECB Group, Be8 leads the energy renewal movement
in Brazil with a mission to create a sustainable future through circular
innovation, advanced biofuels and renewable energy solutions.
The company produces biodiesel from oilseeds, animal fats and used
cooking oil (UCO), industrializes soybean meal and co-products, and
is pioneering the production of BeVant — an exclusive synthetic biofuel —
as well as ethanol, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Be8 made history as the first Brazilian company to export biodiesel to
the United States, certified under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)
by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
