The First Ethanol Plant in Rio Grande do Sul Using Sweet Potatoes as Raw Material Has Received Approval from Fepam to Move Forward, Check It Out!

The State Environmental Protection Foundation (Fepam) issued the Unified Preliminary and Installation License for the first ethanol plant in Rio Grande do Sul. What sets this project apart is that it will use sweet potatoes as raw material, while others are based on sugarcane.

The Ethanol Production Plant Will Be Installed in an Area of Three Hectares

Furthermore, entrepreneur Henrique Sudbrack Leonhardt, leading the project, proposed a visit to a plant in Mato Grosso. According to him, Rio Grande do Sul has great potential to produce ethanol from sweet potatoes as it is one of the largest producers in the country. Leonhardt projects that more than 400 families from family farming will benefit from the project.

About 50 people are expected to be employed when the plant is operational. According to Leonhardt, there will be a 100% utilization of the sweet potatoes. The alcohol will be used at family-owned gas stations, and the meal will be sold to the feed industry.

A 4.0 Plant, as would be the case with the new ethanol plant authorized by Fepam, can achieve significant reductions in maintenance costs by up to 40% and energy consumption by up to 20%, while also increasing operational efficiency by up to 25%. This concept is already present in plants and has made a difference in performance, especially industrially, of the facilities.
