Utilizing Petrobras’ proprietary FCC co-processing technology, 400 gallons of co-processed diesel were produced in a technical cooperation in between Petrobras and also the US Division of Power’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

The gasoline portion was shipped to a significant international oil company in the US for initial examination as well as preparation for the Part 79 examination.
