Raízen, from the Shell Group, wants to build three plants producing ethanol made from sugarcane bagasse and straw

Cellulosic ethanol is made from sugarcane bagasse and straw. In Piracicaba (SP), the group already has a plant producing this type of fuel, which, according to the businessman, has increased international demand, due to the carbon sequestration generated.

“We want to build three plants of this size, with the production of an additional 300 million liters of second generation alcohol”, revealed Ometto. “Companies like Shell, Exxon-Mobil, Total, they all have the greatest interest in acquiring this ethanol given the carbon sequestration it has.”

The technology for producing cellulosic ethanol emerged from a partnership between Shell and the Canadian company Logen, specialized in biotechnology. In the last season (2019/20), the Piracicaba unit produced 226 liters of ethanol for each ton of dry biomass.

Raízen is the main manufacturer of sugarcane ethanol and the 4th largest company in Brazil and the largest single exporter of sugarcane in the international market, and its activities cover all the different stages of its business, such as: “cultivation of sugar cane; sugar and ethanol manufacturing; energy cogeneration; logistics; transportation and distribution of fuels; export; and fuel retailing through service stations operating under the Shell brand.”
