Integrated soy biorefinery
QiFuel will process soy into B100 biodiesel and Textured Soy Protein (TSP), plus glycerin. Our financial architecture enables TSP revenue to cover 100% of OPEX; consequently, every liter of biodiesel becomes virtually pure margin.
Integrated Soy Biorefinery with a unique structural advantage
Our mission is to lead the energy transition by providing a clean, scalable, and economically viable alternative. QiFuel is committed to environmental stewardship, technological innovation, and sustainable regional growth. Our financial architecture enables byproducts to cover 100% of OPEX, creating an unprecedented competitive edge in the industry.
Textured Soy Protein (TSP)
Human-grade food ingredient with growing global demand, used as a protein substitute in meat products, snacks, baked goods, and animal feed. Its market projects an annual growth rate of 7–9% through 2030.
Unique structural advantage: This financial architecture eliminates reliance on biodiesel pricing as the sole revenue driver, providing a resilience that does not exist in conventional biorefineries. Even amid drops in fuel prices, the operation maintains positive profitability thanks to the independent food-grade market for TSP.
We are raising USD 2.5M in seed capital to build Argentina's first integrated soy biorefinery with full operational cost coverage through by-products.
Commitment to Sustainable Development
QiFuel supports the Sustainable Development Goals
Zero Hunger
Production of human-grade Textured Soy Protein (TSP) for the meat processing industry, institutional nutrition programs, and the plant-based protein market. 2,340,000 kg per year of accessible protein requiring no cold chain.
Affordable & Clean Energy
Production of B100 biodiesel as a clean alternative to fossil diesel, with a projected price 25% below conventional fuel. Energy independence through 36 solar panels generating 500 MWh/month.
Responsible Production
A zero-waste circular model that will transform soybeans into three products for independent markets, maximizing the use of every input through an integrated biorefinery approach.
Climate Action
Direct substitution of fossil fuels in transport fleets, with a projected reduction of 1,200 tonnes of CO₂ annually — equivalent to planting 18,000 trees per year.

Who are we?
QiFuel S.A.S is an integrated biorefinery in the development phase; it is strategically located in the Leones Industrial Park, Córdoba, Argentina. Our production model combines ultrasonic transesterification technology with AI-assisted automation, utilizing soy as the sole feedstock to generate three products for independent markets.
Provincial Law 10.721 mandates biodiesel blending for public fleets in Córdoba, ensuring captive institutional demand from the first day of operations. We are currently developing the infrastructure to reach a projected capacity of 20,000 litres per day; furthermore, we possess the potential to double production within the first three years.
