- Néstor Alberto Casini: CEO & Founder
QiFuel S.A.S. is an early-stage Argentine biorefinery startup developing an integrated soybean processing facility in Córdoba, Argentina's agricultural heartland. The company is designed to transform locally sourced soybeans into three high-value outputs: renewable biodiesel (B100), textured soy protein (TSP) for human consumption, and
pharmaceutical-grade glycerin. By industrializing at origin, QiFuel eliminates long-haul freight costs, captures a 300%+ value uplift converting commodity soy meal into food-grade protein, and achieves partial energy self-sufficiency through its own biodiesel production. The circular economy model is engineered to reduce food system waste while delivering clean energy alongside plant-based ingredients to meet growing regional demand. The company has completed detailed engineering, secured equipment suppliers, and projects USD 24.7M in first-year revenues with an estimated EBITDA margin above 27%. The modular plant design enables scalable expansion into protein concentrates and isolates
