Abstract: O governo e a sociedade brasileira têm debatido a matriz energética do país com a intenção de identificar alternativas que diminuam a sua dependência dos derivados de petróleo. O biodiesel tem sido o produto considerado mais promissor para substituir parte do diesel fóssil consumido no Brasil para reduzir a emissão de carbono. Este trabalho procurou analisar os dois mercados (biodiesel e óleo vegetal), identificar a mistura de biodiesel para cada região brasileira e caracterizar a produção de biodiesel e as processadoras de óleo vegetal. Os resultados mostram que o consumo do biodiesel está concentrado nas regiões Sul e Sudeste. Já as fábricas esmagadoras de óleos vegetais estão estruturadas para processarem soja e se concentram nas regiões Centro-oeste e Sul--------------------The Brazilian government had discussed about alternative energetic matrix to reduce petroleum dependence and carbon emission at atmosphere. Thus, the biodiesel had been main product to replace part of diesel consuming in Brazil. The present paper looked for analysis two markets and to identify the bland of biodiesel each region of Brazil, to describe de biodiesel production and to locate crushing oil vegetable.
