ABAX
A babassu-based bioactive for diesel
Validated efficiency gains and independently certified emissions impact, built from a fruit the industry used to discard.
WHAT IS ABAX?
ABAX is a bioactive additive developed from babassu to improve diesel efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and support lower-emission operations across trucking and agricultural machinery.
It was designed to answer a very specific problem for fleet operators and farms: diesel is one of the largest variable costs in logistics and agriculture, and most additives on the market barely move the needle on efficiency.

Certified by Climate KIC International Foundation
ABAX was classified as a “High Impact” climate innovation following a life-cycle assessment (LCA) conducted under ISO 14040/14044 standards and issued in July 2025.
- Validation result: high impact, mitigation potential between 500 and 5,000 tCO₂e per year.
- Potential avoided GHG emissions per functional unit: 0.07 t CO₂ eq.
- Average potential avoided GHG emissions per year: 4,022 t CO₂ eq.
- Cumulative potential avoided GHG emissions over 5 years: 20,109 t CO₂ eq.
Potential Avoided GHG Emissions Validation Report
Issued by Climate KIC International Foundation for Apoena Bioindustrial Ltda., product: Babassu Automotive Additive (BAA). Validation results: valid with high impact.
Even in conservative sensitivity scenarios, the assessment kept its high-impact classification, positioning babassu as a decarbonization vector.
Tested with market leaders, on real operations
2025 consolidated ABAX’s effectiveness in real operational scenarios, in partnership with market leaders like Ambev and Geoex.
10,000 – HECTARE FARM
A case study on a 10,000-hectare farm projected an annual saving of 30% in diesel operating costs, confirming ABAX as a strategic cost-reduction and decarbonization lever for agribusiness and logistics.
Bench testing with IPT
A new five-month technical cycle with the IPT (Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas) will validate ABAX in bench tests aligned with ANP Resolution No. 968/2024 and ABNT NBR 15634:2012, certifying field results for expansion into the fuels market.
