2 COLOMBIA, SOUTH AMERICA CARIBBEAN SEA ASIA SOUTH AMERICA PACIFIC OCEAN ATLANTIC OCEAN AFRICA INDIAN OCEAN CHINA OIL PALM CONDITIONS Nowadays, there are five million hectares of palm in world, which represent 16 million tons of production per year, which is equivalent to a consumption of 1,7 kilo per capita. Colombia is the fourth producer (2%) of oil palm in world, after Malaysia (46%), Indonesia (31.3%) and Nigeria (5.1%). Oil palm growings in the country have had a very important development. Nowadays, there are hectares and palm crude oil production increases up to tons/year.

From 2005, Colombian gasolines should be oxigenated with sugar cane alcohol and others(law 693 of 2001). Wide government support to energy agriculture: sugar cane, yuca, African Palm. African palm is the best raw material for Biodiesel production in Colombia. B10 (10% biodiesel in markets) requires BPD of biodiesel ( Ton/year)

5 ECONOMIC TECHNICAL STUDY Colombia produces about barrels/day of Diesel fuel oil for vehicles. Upon using a 10% of esterified vegetable oil, it will be equals to barrels/day, approximately tons/year of palm oil, figure near to 50% of the year national production generating Hectares grown in African palm and more than direct and indirect employments. TECHNICAL ECONOMIC STUDY Due to during last years Diesel fuel oil price has been lower than gasoline price, the country has become to use Diesel, so the maximum possible Diesel fuel oil production of Ecopetrol is getting close to demand, which means that if there are not new oil refineries, the country will have to import Diesel fuel oil during next years. Biodiesel will avoid said import with meaningful currency savings.
