What Bsbios does

Bsbios, operating under the brand Be8, is a Brazilian integrated renewable-energy and agro-industrial company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul. The company produces biodiesel and the premium biofuel Be8 BeVant from agricultural feedstocks (primarily soybeans) across six manufacturing plants in Brazil, supplemented by a production unit in La Paloma, Paraguay, and commercial offices in Geneva and Domdidier, Switzerland, with recent entry into Italy. In addition to renewable fuels, Be8 sells a diversified set of agricultural commodities and chemical by-products derived from the soybean-crushing and biodiesel process, including soybean meal (farelo de soja), whole grains, glycerin, olein, degummed oil, fatty acids, and borra. The company's technology is anchored in certified biodiesel production (Social Biodiesel Seal, Pro Ética 2023, California LCFS compliance) and integrated value-chain engineering that maximizes economic yield from a single agricultural input.

The business model is enterprise B2B and transaction-based: biodiesel is sold directly to fuel distributors and large fleet operators (including logistics, pharmaceutical, transportation, and public-transit customers such as AstraZeneca Brasil, Coleurb, and Copa Truck), with pricing negotiated per transaction rather than disclosed publicly. Premium positioning is built around Be8 BeVant, which targets decarbonization-focused enterprises in logistics, motorsport, maritime, and industrial backup-power applications, with documented 99.41% GHG reduction validated by independent waterway testing. The go-to-market is sales-led, emphasizing direct enterprise relationships, industry-event presence (Hannover Messe, COP 30, Davos), sports sponsorship (Copa Truck), and investor-relations communications (debentures and material-fact disclosures).

Revenue is generated across four streams: core biodiesel sales, Be8 BeVant premium biofuel, agro products (soybeans and soybean meal), and chemical derivatives (glycerin, borra, olein, degummed oil, fatty acids). A new biogenic CO2 commercialization partnership at Passo Fundo extends the revenue base into carbon-capture-derived industrial gases. Ownership remains private, with institutional alignment to ECB Group, Finep, and Brazil's Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, but no explicit funding rounds, ticker, or detailed ownership structure are disclosed in the source material.
