A Bioethanol Plant Will Be Installed in Bahia, Generating Hundreds of Jobs and Bringing New Opportunities to the Region. With Million-Dollar Investments, The New Plant Promises to Boost the Local Economy and Strengthen The Renewable Energy Sector in The State.
Bahia will receive another industrial investment with the construction of a new bioethanol plant from the processing of corn and sorghum in Santa Rita de Cássia, in the West of the state, generating hundreds of jobs. The Lida Group reported that the new plant in Bahia will have low water consumption featuring Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) technology and that the bioindustry will be self-sufficient in electricity generation, through the burning of grass produced within its own operation.
New Bioethanol Plant Promises to Generate Thousands of Jobs
In addition to bioethanol, the new plant in Bahia will also produce two high-value coproducts: DDGS, or distillers dried grains with solubles, and crude corn oil. DDGS stands out as a highly palatable product with a high protein content, achieving excellent results in animal nutrition.
The mayor, Zezo Aragão, wrote on the social media platform Instagram that the new bioethanol plant represents a significant milestone for development in the municipality. According to Aragão, the construction permit for the beginning of this great project that will revolutionize the city is already signed.
