About Mondi Energy

The problem we're solving:

Diesel is expensive, polluting, and heavily used in agriculture and transportation. While biodiesel is a cleaner alternative, its production today requires large-scale plants and complex logistics, making it inaccessible to most companies and rural producers. There is a lack of scalable, affordable, and decentralized solutions for clean fuel production at the point of use.

Our solution:

We developed a compact, decentralized biodiesel production system powered by concentrated solar energy. Our technology enables companies and rural producers to manufacture their own biodiesel on-site, using local feedstock such as vegetable oil or animal fat. This eliminates the need for large infrastructure, cuts fuel costs by up to 50%, and reduces carbon emissions, contributing to a cleaner and more resilient energy future.

Our differentiator:

Unlike conventional biodiesel plants that require large-scale infrastructure and high daily volumes, our solution is compact, decentralized, and uses proprietary heliothermal systems to generate heat. By combining solar energy with a redesigned reactor, we enable cost-effective, on-site biodiesel production for rural and industrial users.

Our biggest achievement:

We secured over R$1 million in public and private funding to develop our proprietary heliothermal and biodiesel production technologies. Our solar collectors are already operating with paying customers, and we were recognized by Hello Tomorrow as one of the world’s most innovative deeptechs, selected among 4,600 startups from 120 countries.
