About This Project

This project scales VivaTerra's industrial base, collecting and processing used cooking oil from over 3,200 collection points across 50+ municipalities in São Paulo. Currently processing 720 tons/year, with 90% converted to biodiesel and 10% into cleaning products. The investment expands the plant, adds filtration equipment, ISCC certification, truck fleet and traceability system, increasing capacity and reducing losses. Each recycled liter prevents contamination of 25,000 liters of water and emits ~2.5 kg less CO₂e.

🎯 Key Focus

Expand plant, fleet, traceability to double volume and margins.

💡 How It Works

What goes into the project (the ingredients)

We take things nobody wants and mix them with smart money.

  • Money: Anyone can invest safely and transparently (everyone sees where the money goes).
  • Farm leftovers: Sugarcane, corn and straw residues... things that were previously burned or thrown away.
  • Existing machines: Plants that already produce energy, now upgraded to turn waste into clean gas and power.
  • Local people: Local farmers, engineers and operators who know the daily work.

What comes out (what we all gain)

We turn waste into 4 things that are worth real money:

  • Clean energy: Green electricity that goes directly to homes and businesses.
  • Carbon credits: A certificate proving we removed CO₂ from the air (companies buy them to offset pollution).
  • Natural fertilizer: The leftover ash becomes a nutrient-rich powder that goes back to farmers' soil.
  • Revenue from energy and credit sales: Real, sustainable returns for investors and farmers alike.

Why this changes everything (the real impact)

It's not just about generating energy. It's about improving many people's lives:

  • For the planet: Less pollution and less burning of coal and oil.
  • For the wallet: Farmers earn steady income selling leftovers, and investors receive returns.
  • For rural areas: More good jobs in the countryside, families stay instead of leaving.
  • For the future: Shows that blockchain technology can be used for real, good things — tracking money and evidence of transformation.
