Camera Agroalimentos SA, a Brazilian agricultural company, is planning a 20 million-real ($11 million) factory to make a catalyst needed to produce biodiesel as demand for the renewable fuel increases.

The plant will open by next year and will initially produce 15,000 metric tons of sodium methylate a year, Joao Artur Manjabosco, manager of biodiesel and co-products at Santa Rosa, Brazil-based Camera, said today in a telephone interview. The company may eventually double the output.
