Braskem Will Add 60 Thousand Tons to Production in RS. Green Ethylene Is Produced from Sugarcane Ethanol and Used for the Production of Resins

Braskem will make a multi-million investment in Rio Grande do Sul; the company will start a project in the petrochemical hub of Triunfo (RS) to increase its production capacity of green ethylene. The input is produced from sugarcane ethanol and used to produce more sustainable resins.

The planned investment by Braskem is US$ 61 million, and the company’s expectation is an addition of 60,000 tons per year in green ethylene production. The start of operations is expected for late 2022.

The project is part of the petrochemical company’s goal to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 15% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

“The expansion of biopolymer production capacity reflects the growing demand from society and our partners for sustainable products, which has increased significantly in recent years. This initiative also reinforces our commitment to sustainable development, which goes hand in hand with the values of the chain we are part of and our customers. This increase in the production capacity of our industrial unit aims to keep Braskem at the forefront of the biopolymer market,” explains Marco Jansen, Global Head of Biopolymers at Braskem.

Petrochemical Braskem Wins Billion-Dollar Contracts with Petrobras

Petrobras announced a significant event regarding the celebration of new long-term billion-dollar contracts estimated at R$16.5 billion with Braskem for the supply of naphtha as well as ethane and propane

According to Petrobras’s statement, naphtha will serve the industrial unit in the state of São Paulo, while the supply of ethane and propane will be directed to the industrial unit in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Estimated at R$ 19 billion, the billion-dollar naphtha contract will come into effect on 12/23, after the current contract ends, and will remain in force until December 31, 2025. The quantity is up to 2 million tons per year.

Brazil’s Ethanol and Sugarcane Sector May Gain New Plant, Increasing Processing Capacity

Raízen, an ethanol producer in Brazil and owner of Ipiranga gas stations, is acquiring one of the leaders in the sugar-energy sector, Biosev. If the deals go through, the new project will have a production capacity equivalent to 17% of all sugarcane mills in the Central-South region, home to the main producers in Brazil, which account for 70% of national production.

This year, 2021, sugarcane mills will prioritize sugar production rather than ethanol. The main producers in Brazil, located in the Central-South region, which account for 70% of national production, have the following factor for prioritizing production: the price of sweetener in the domestic market and the recovery of values in the foreign market.

Unlike corn ethanol plants, sugarcane mills can determine whether they will produce more sugar or ethanol. Therefore, a broader mix term for either product.

While Russia dominates the global wheat market, Brazil emerges as an unexpected competitor in the Cerrado, offering grain available in July and August when stocks in the Northern Hemisphere are at their lowest point of the year.

China returned almost 20 Brazilian ships with soybeans, but now everything could change: the country that buys 80% of the grain is considering relaxing regulations after impurities held up shipments of thousands of tons and caused million-dollar losses.

Chinese giant worth nearly R$ 4 billion that manufactures cables for electric cars, solar energy, and robotics wants to open a factory in SC.

Many employers do not know, but the law guarantees domestic workers a 25% increase in salary during trips, 50% for overtime, 20% for night shifts, and 17 additional benefits that can lead to labor lawsuits if not paid.

The drought of the cerrado was considered an enemy of wheat, but Brazilian scientists turned the lack of rain into a competitive advantage by creating a grain with quality that is already attracting the attention of international mills around the world.
