The proposed investment consists of an A Loan, B Loans and Parallel Loans of up to US$850 million to Acelen Industrial S.A. (“Acelen” or the “Company”), a subsidiary of Acelen Energia Renovável S.A. The proposed project aims to support the construction of a new seed-to-fuel biorefinery in Bahia, Brazil (the “Project”), with a capacity of 20 kbpd using Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) technology to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Renewable Diesel (RD).
Via an Upstream agreement (Project Review Letter), IFC is engaged with Acelen to (i) review and assure the bankability, scalability, and sustainability (E&S, climate, technical, etc.) of the Acelen macaúba strategy; and (ii) support the development of Acelen's feedstock strategy for its HEFA plants.
