en.Wedoany.com Reported - Be8 Group has established a new subsidiary, Be8 Milan, in Milan, Italy, to expand its business presence in Europe.

This expansion is part of the company's strategic plan to enhance its capacity to export biofuels and related raw materials to Europe, including soybean oil, fats, used cooking oil, and residual feedstocks.

Erasmo Carlos Battistella, CEO of Be8, stated that this is a key step in executing the company's strategic plan to expand its geographic coverage by supplying renewable energy. In addition to exporting products to Europe, the company also plans to invest in logistics facilities in Italy, positioning the country as a connection and distribution hub for the region.

To this end, the newly established subsidiary will apply for certification under the INS (Italian National Plan), as well as internationally recognized certifications such as ISCC EU (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification).

The certification process requires meeting strict sustainability and traceability standards, with assessments covering the entire production chain—from raw material sources (including soybean oil, animal fats, and used cooking oil) to the final product.

The company must also comply with the REACH regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals), which is mandatory for selling chemical products or consumer goods containing chemical substances in Italy and throughout the European Union.

Battistella added that the company does not rule out investing in local production in Italy, but this will depend on demand that develops over the next few years. Currently, Be8 Group has a commercial office in Geneva, Switzerland, and operates a biodiesel production unit in Domdidier, Switzerland.

Be8 is a leading company in biodiesel production in Brazil, operating in the global renewable energy sector. It develops new energy matrices through a circular innovation ecosystem, focusing on providing sustainable solutions for people, businesses, and the planet.
