The power of agribusiness driving energy: Nimo Energia raises BRL 43 million through CRA issuance
Our Marlin Fuels TradingGroup has the immense pride to announce the successful completion of Nimo Energia’s first issuance of Agribusiness Receivables Certificates (CRA), totaling BRL 43 million, marking our official debut in the Brazilian capital markets.
This transaction is both unprecedented and transformational: for the first time in the country, a CRA in the fuel distribution sector has been structured with receivables backed by ethanol and biodiesel purchases from certified agricultural producers, combined with solid collateral through fiduciary lien over fuel inventories stored in primary logistics terminals.
“This is not just about raising capital. It’s about transforming how Brazil finances energy. CRA is agro, it’s ESG, it’s innovation — and Nimo Energia is living proof of that. It was born with an innovative purpose and a future-driven vision. And it’s here to stay.”Wellington Bravo, CFO of Grupo Nimofast
Structured under the terms of CVM Resolution 160, the issuance was executed with full legal and technical rigor, adhering to the highest standards of governance, compliance, and operational security — reinforcing Nimo Energia’s credibility as a capital markets issuer.
The funds raised will be directed toward the company’s operations linked to the agribusiness sector and its relationships with rural producers, with a particular focus on the purchase of biofuels. Additionally, this financing will expand Nimo Energia’s working capital, strengthening its ability to supply clients — especially those in the agribusiness sector — with predictability, scale, and logistical reliability.
Positioning and Innovation
Founded in 2014 by Ramon Reais, the sle shareholder of Nimofast Group, the company has evolved into an integrated platform for fuel trading, logistics, and distribution, headquartered in Brazil, with international presence in the United Arab Emirates, Norway, and the United Kingdom. With over 3 billion liters of imported fuel, the group is today one of the top three private diesel importers in Brazil.
Operating at the intersection of agribusiness, national logistics infrastructure, and financial innovation, the group has built a flexible and integrated structure that spans from international origination to final delivery. Nimo Energia, the group’s licensed fuel distributor, ranks among the largest private operators in the country, with a B2B focus — serving fuel stations, TRRs, cooperatives, mills, and agro-logistics operators across Brazil.
“This achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and the strength that defines our journey. Over the years, we have strengthened our governance, enhanced our management practices, and placed our clients and partners at the center of everything we do. This transaction is more than a financial milestone — it is proof of our ability to dream big while maintaining discipline and excellence as our core pillars.” Ramon Reis, CEO and Founder of Grupo Nimofast
