Our Project | Our Products The QiFuel Integrated Biodiesel Platform – Argentina
QiFuel is pioneering a scalable, high-efficiency biodiesel platform in Argentina—an end-to-end, vertically integrated facility producing advanced biodiesel and value-added co-products such as glycerol and textured soy.
Engineered to decarbonize regional transport and industry, the platform leverages AI-driven automation, methanol recovery, and a circular economy model to maximize output while minimizing waste. By combining local agricultural inputs with cutting-edge process innovation, QiFuel meets the growing demand for clean, affordable fuels, strengthens Latin America’s energy independence, and fosters inclusive rural development across the region.
QiFuel Advanced Biodiesel – B100 Voltium
QiFuel’s B100 Voltium is a drop-in, high-performance biodiesel produced from certified renewable feedstocks. Fully compatible with existing diesel engines and distribution systems, it offers seamless integration while delivering up to 80% lower lifecycle emissions than fossil diesel.
Glycerol
QiFuel’s refined glycerol is a high-purity, plant-derived co-product from our biodiesel process. Extracted through sustainable methods, it is widely used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and chemical industries—providing a renewable alternative to petroleum-based glycols.
Textured Soy
Our textured soy is a protein-rich co-product obtained during soybean processing for biodiesel production. It serves as a nutrient-dense, cost-effective protein source for animal feed, aquaculture, and processed food sectors, supporting food security and circular bioeconomy practices.
