A bioethanol plant will be installed in Bahia, generating hundreds of jobs and bringing new opportunities to the region. With millions in investments, the new plant promises to boost the local economy and strengthen the renewable energy sector in the state.
Bahia will receive yet another industrial investment with the construction of a new bioethanol plant from the processing of corn and sorghum in Santa Rita de Cássia, in the west of the state, generating hundreds of jobs. The Lida Group reported that the new plant in Bahia will have low water consumption, taking into account the Zero Liquid Discharge technology (ZLD) and that the bioindustry will be self-sufficient in generating electricity, through the burning of grass, produced within the operation itself.
New bioethanol plant promises to generate thousands of jobs
In addition to bioethanol, the new plant in Bahia will also produce two high-value co-products: DDGS, or distiller's dried grains with solubles, and crude corn oil. DDGS stands out as a highly palatable product with a high protein content, achieving excellent results in animal nutrition.
The mayor, Zezo Aragon, wrote on the social network Instagram that the new bioethanol plant represents a major milestone in the development of the city. According to Aragão, the construction permit for the start of this major project that will revolutionize the city has already been signed.

According to the Lida Group, in construction and implementation phase of the investment, the expectation is that the company will indirectly generate around 300 jobs, involving several areas, such as civil construction, logistics, mechanical assembly, electrical and automation. During the operational phase, Lida Bioenergia will create around 80 direct jobs and around 20 indirect jobs, as service providers.
Lida Energia speaks out about investment in new plant in Bahia
Lida Energia CEO Diogo Turra attended the meeting alongside Guilherme Sales, the company's COO, Ueslei Silva, project coordinator, and Célia Cerrato, owner of Trevo Ambiental, responsible for the project's environmental consultancy. They all reinforced the importance of this investment to promote a sustainable economy and boost local development with jobs.
The arrival of the new bioethanol plant puts Santa Rita de Cássia on the map of sustainable development, aligning it with the demands for renewable energy and strengthening the regional economy. The plant in Bahia in Santa Rita, operated by Lida Bioenergia, will have a major impact on the region. In addition to generating direct and indirect jobs, the project will contribute to increasing the municipality's revenue, enabling more projects and investments.
Inpasa also announces investments in new plant in Bahia
Inpasa announced last week a new biorefinery factory in Luís Eduardo Magalhães, with operations expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026. The new Inpasa factory promises to boost the local economy, especially through job creation. During construction, approximately 2,5 direct jobs will be created, further boosting the region's economy.
According to Rafael Ranzolin, vice president of Inpasa in Brazil, Luís Eduardo Magalhães was chosen for the new plant in Bahia due to its infrastructure and industrial potential. According to Ranzolin, in addition to ethanol, the company will produce electricity at the plant for both domestic consumption and export.
A new Inpasa factory, which will create thousands of jobs, will have an investment of R$ 1,3 billion and will allow Bahia to stop importing 700 million liters of ethanol per year, guaranteeing the state's self-sufficiency.
The new plant will have the capacity to process one million tons of vegetable oil and 200 GWh of electricity. Governor Jerônimo Rodrigues highlighted the importance of the new Inpasa plant for the state, noting that Bahia will go from being an importer to an exporter of biofuels.
