Expanding the Platform Towards Renewable Energy

As part of its long-term industrial strategy, Green Planet is expanding its integrated platform towards the development of activities connected to renewable energy and the bio-based economy.

Building on its expertise in vegetable oil refining and industrial processing, the group is exploring new opportunities related to the logistics, storage and valorization of vegetable oil derivatives and refining by-products that can be used as feedstocks for renewable fuels and advanced industrial applications.

The increasing role of biofuels and renewable feedstocks within the global energy transition creates new opportunities for industrial operators capable of integrating production, logistics infrastructure and research capabilities.

Green Planet is strategically positioned to participate in this evolution thanks to its vertically integrated industrial platform.

BIOFUELS LOGISTICS & STORAGE

Green Planet is evaluating the development of logistics and storage infrastructure dedicated to feedstocks used in the renewable fuels sector.

These activities may include:

• storage and handling of vegetable oil derivatives used in biofuel production

• development of logistics infrastructure dedicated to renewable energy feedstocks

• integration with port-based logistics platforms

The presence of logistics assets connected to maritime transport creates opportunities to support international supply chains related to renewable fuels and sustainable energy sources.

VALORIZATION OF REFINING BY-PRODUCTS 

The refining of vegetable oils generates several valuable by-products that can be used in energy and advanced industrial sectors.

Among the most relevant materials are:

• oleins

• distilled fatty acids (DFA)

• other vegetable oil derivatives suitable for energy applications

These materials represent important feedstocks for biofuel production and other industrial uses within the emerging bioeconomy.

Green Planet aims to further develop the industrial valorization of these by-products, transforming them into strategic resources within a circular industrial model.

RESEARCH & INNOVATION

Green Planet supports research and innovation through its internal laboratories and technical expertise in vegetable oil processing.

These activities focus on identifying new applications for refining by-products and vegetable oil derivatives.

Potential applications include:

• renewable fuels and energy applications

• advanced bio-based materials

• pharmaceutical applications

• cosmetic ingredients

• high-value biochemical compounds

Among the most promising research areas is the development of bifractionated compounds derived from vegetable oils, which may have applications in advanced industrial, pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors.

TOWARDS A BIO-BASED INDUSTRIAL PLATFORM

By integrating agriculture, industrial processing, logistics infrastructure and research capabilities, Green Planet is progressively expanding its platform towards the emerging bio-based economy.

These initiatives represent a natural extension of the group’s industrial activities and reinforce its commitment to sustainability, circular economy and long-term industrial innovation.

Through this approach, Green Planet aims to contribute to the development of new sustainable industrial solutions connected to renewable energy and bio-based materials.
