Fabio Medrano Siccherino, CEO of DP World in Brazil, one of the world\u2019s largest cargo handlers based in the United Arab Emirates, said the company is expanding its cargo handling capacity at the Port of Santos from 1.7 million to 2.2 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) per year. One of the goals, he said, is to make the company\u2019s terminal contribute to making the Port of Santos more attractive and competitive for Islamic countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcelo Franca Nogueira, CFO of Acelen Renewables, presented the company\u2019s plans. Founded by the UAE sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Capital, the company is investing in planting maca\u00faba palms on degraded pasturelands to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). He noted that maca\u00faba cultivation yields more than soybean crops and has production costs competitive with crude oil.<\/p>\n\n\n
