Mubadala Commits to Invest $2.5 Billion in Clean Fuel in Brazil - Bloomberg

Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Capital plans to invest 12 billion reais ($2.4 billion) over 10 years to build a green diesel and sustainable aviation kerosene factory in Brazil’s northeastern state of Bahia.

The investment will be made through the company’s Acelen unit in Brazil, and the company expects to start production in the first quarter of 2026, it said on Saturday.

The memorandum of understanding was part of several other agreements signed during a state visit of Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to Abu Dhabi. He was received by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, president of the United Arab Emirates, for an iftar — a meal celebrated after sunset during Ramadan.

“I return to the country 20 years later to reinforce the relationship between Brazil and the United Arab Emirates,” Lula wrote on Twitter. “The Emirates is the country in the region that invests the most in Brazil, will host the COP-28 this year and will expand investments in biofuels and renewable energies.”
