With an Investment of R$ 1.3 Billion, Mato Grosso do Sul Modernizes Ethanol Production, Boosting the Sugar-Energy Sector and Creating New Job and Income Opportunities for the State.

Mato Grosso do Sul advances in the bioenergy sector with a major investment of R$ 1.3 billion. This amount will be directed to the expansion and modernization of second-generation ethanol production at the Raízen plant, located in Caarapó, southern State.

The initiative aims to position the region as a reference in renewable energy, in addition to generating jobs and boosting local development.

The Expansion of Raízen and Second-Generation Ethanol in Mato Grosso do Sul

Part of the Cosan group, Raízen operates in the sugar-energy sector and is now betting on second-generation ethanol, a biofuel produced from the residues of the traditional ethanol process.

International Event Reaffirms the State Attractiveness

The investment announcement was made during the ‘Lide Brazil Conference’ in London, where Governor Eduardo Riedel presented investment opportunities in Mato Grosso do Sul.

Together with secretaries and representatives from the private sector, the governor highlighted the importance of second-generation ethanol for strengthening the energy sector.

Riedel emphasized the significance of this new plant for the local economy: “This project will increase the number of jobs, income for the State, income for people, and especially for the development of the municipality“, he stated.

The Potential of Second-Generation Ethanol

Second-generation ethanol (2G) represents a significant technological advance. Unlike regular ethanol, this fuel is obtained from materials that were previously discarded, such as sugarcane bagasse. This feature makes 2G ethanol a more sustainable alternative, as production can grow without the need to expand planting areas.

According to executive Claudio Oliveira, Vice President of Institutional Relations at Cosan, this type of investment demonstrates the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.

“We have a project for nine plants. We already have two in operation and four that are under construction. And we naturally have three more that will begin construction, one of which is in Mato Grosso do Sul”, he stated.

Modernization and Sustainability: The Benefits for the State

The expansion of Raízen in Mato Grosso do Sul is an important step towards a green economy. The production of second-generation ethanol contributes to a cleaner energy matrix, positively impacting both the environment and the economy.

Furthermore, by reusing agricultural waste, the State stands out as a national reference in bioenergy.

Modernization and Sustainability: The Benefits for the State

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Few know, but India has a 36 km wall that surrounds a fort in the mountains and is considered the second largest in the world, behind the Great Wall of China.

Hyundai Creta 2029 appears in new spy shots with a completely revamped design, a more modern digital interior, a larger multimedia center, a more comfortable passenger seat, and electrification finally on the radar.

Former CIA analyst warns that China has already surpassed the US in missiles, electronic warfare, cyber, and military production, transforming the Pacific into a zone without safe spaces while Washington clings to its submarine advantage.

Home-built airplane by a Minas Gerais engineer uses car parts, such as a power window motor for the flaps and a tachometer on the dashboard. The project took six years, and the aircraft has autonomy to fly up to seven hours non-stop.
