Corn Ethanol Plant Starts Operating in Nova Mutum (MT). Second Unit of Inpasa Brasil Is the 16th Brazilian Industry to Operate Producing Biofuel from Corn

More than 2,000 jobs were created during the construction of the 16th Corn Ethanol Plant in Brazil. Inpasa Brasil has started the operation of its newest plant, the unit located in Nova Mutum, MT. The plant began operation after receiving the Operating License from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), published yesterday (08/26) in the Official Gazette, which authorizes the production of Ethanol.

The license from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Mapa) for the production of Corn Oil and DDGS was obtained last Friday (08/21).

According to Inpasa’s Executive Director, Rafael Ranzolin, this is an achievement that reflects the entrepreneurial spirit of the company which, even amid the pandemic, maintained its activities, strengthening the economy of the country and the community where it is located.

About Brazil’s Newest Corn Ethanol Plant

The newest corn ethanol plant in Brazil has a capacity to produce 890 m³ of hydrous ethanol per day. It generates 275 direct jobs and at least three times more indirectly.

According to information from the company, the plant in Nova Mutum received an investment of R$ 550 million and created about 2,000 jobs during construction. It is the second unit of the company in Mato Grosso: the other plant is located in Sinop, producing 560 million liters of corn ethanol per year.

According to Inpasa’s report, in addition to hydrous ethanol from corn, the plant will produce corn oil and DDG – protein meal produced from grain distillation.

With the start of operations of Inpasa’s plant in Nova Mutum, Brazil now has 16 corn ethanol plants in operation. The National Union of Corn Ethanol (Unem) projects that in the 2020/2021 cycle, 2.5 billion liters will be produced.

“Even with the decline in fuel demand caused by the pandemic, corn ethanol production grew by 93% from January to July 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. With the start-up of four plants this year, the sector will expand its installed capacity by over 1 billion liters,” analyzes the president of Unem, Guilherme Nolasco.

In March, a plant with a capacity of 530 million liters/year was inaugurated in Sorriso (MT). Now, in August, Inpasa inaugurates the plant in Nova Mutum to produce 320 million liters. By the end of the year, there is a forecast for two more plants to begin operations, with a combined capacity to produce 200 million liters/year.
