Frequently asked questions
1. What is biodiesel?
It is a liquid biofuel that is produced from vegetable oils or animal fats, and can be used in conventional diesel engines.
2. Why is it a sustainable alternative?
It drastically reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, it can be manufactured using local agricultural inputs, strengthening regional energy sovereignty.
3. Is QiFuel already producing?
We are currently in the industrial development phase, completing detailed engineering alongside financing management for plant construction. Commercial production is projected to begin once construction is finished, with an estimated commissioning period of 6 to 8 months.
4. What types of biodiesel does QiFuel produce?
Voltium B100: Premium version with natural additives that enhance energy output and motor protection. Designed for direct use without blending.
Conventional B100: High-purity standard biodiesel, ideal for blending with diesel in various proportions as needed.
5. Does biodiesel damage engines or injectors?
No, when produced under strict quality standards like those QiFuel will apply. Our biodiesel will be manufactured with precision technology, moisture control, and stabilization using natural additives, ensuring full compatibility with modern injection systems.
6. What advantages does QiFuel biodiesel have over conventional diesel?
- Up to 25% more affordable, thanks to the operational self-financing model through by-products.
- Greater lubricity, protecting engine components (injectors, pumps).
- Cleaner combustion, with lower particulate matter emissions.
- Local and sustainable origin, reducing dependence on imported fuels.
Our integrated biorefinery will simultaneously produce three products from a single input (soy): B100 biodiesel/Voltium, Textured Soy Protein (TSP) for the food industry, and crude glycerin for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries. TSP revenue will cover 100% of operational costs.
7. As an investor, is it a safe investment?
QiFuel is positioned in one of the most promising sectors globally. Our model combines:
- Triple revenue stream, each financially independent.
- Guaranteed regulatory demand (Provincial Law 10,721).
- Operational cost coverage through by-products, providing structural financial solidity.
- Strong projected metrics: IRR 160.6%, NPV USD 12.87M, Payback 1.5–2.5 years.
- Scalable model with regional and international replication potential.
