For the two units, the project organization is planning investments of R$ 2.4 billion in the coming years.
Raízen Expands Second-Generation Ethanol Plant Installation Project and Announces Two New São Paulo Mills to Receive the Units
Raízen’s project to reach 20 second-generation ethanol plants in its mills across Brazil is making further progress this week.
The company is investing billions of reais for the implementation of units in various locations around the country.

According to information from Raízen’s industrial director, Juliano Oliveira, the company intends to inaugurate two installations per year. However, for 2023, only one is planned, the Bonfim mill in Guariba (SP).
For the year 2024, the Univalem mills in Valparaíso (SP) and Barra in Barra Bonita (SP) will benefit from the second-generation ethanol plants.
Now, this week, two new units have been announced by the company. They will be located at the Vale do Rosário and Gasa mills, both also in the state of São Paulo.
According to Raízen, each mill will receive an investment of R$ 1.2 billion for the implementation of the project. In this way, the company will invest a total of R$ 2.4 billion in the new units.
The vice president of ethanol, sugar, and bioenergy at Raízen, Francis Queen, stated that the company is already in negotiations for the commercialization of a large part of the production from the new plants.
“Europe is very firm in the ‘food versus fuel’ dilemma and is pushing the agenda for fuel from waste. We provide the solution they are looking for, which has a strong appeal in the European market,” said the specialist.
Installation of New Second-Generation Ethanol Plants at the Vale do Rosário and Gasa Mills of Raízen Marks a Major Advance in the Biofuels Market
Raízen has a strong strategy for the biofuels market with the newly announced second-generation ethanol plants for the Vale do Rosário and Gasa mills.
The installation of these second-generation ethanol plants represents a significant advance in the biofuels industry, as it allows for a more sustainable production of ethanol, reducing the need to use food crops to produce biofuels.
Furthermore, these plants are capable of producing a larger volume of ethanol per ton of biomass than first-generation plants, increasing the efficiency of the production process.
Another advantage of second-generation ethanol production is that it generates byproducts that can be used as fertilizers or for energy generation.
This makes the process even more sustainable, as it reduces waste and enables revenue generation from the byproducts.
Thus, Raízen reinforces its commitment to its second-generation ethanol project and prepares for future installations after the Vale do Rosário and Gasa mills.
