The Bolivian government has taken a key step in the industrialization of energy with the final stages of construction of the biodiesel plant II “Héroes de Senkata”, in which the state-owned YPFB is investing more than $66 million. Located in the Senkata area of El Alto, the plant, with a capacity of 1,500 barrels per day, will reduce dependence on imported diesel and contribute to the country’s energy security.
The project will utilize 98% vegetable oil and 2% waste cooking oil to produce biodiesel, promoting a circular economy and reducing environmental impact. This initiative demonstrates Bolivia’s strong commitment to promoting the energy transition and diversifying fuels.
