Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--In the last month, two significant ethanol joint venture investments, valued at more than 1 billion Brazilian reals (US$181.8 million), have been announced in the Central-West and Southeast regions of Brazil. This continues to mark the country's shift toward a greener economy with cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.

Prata Bioenergia, a joint venture among Grupo Queiroz de Queiroz, JP Andrade Agropecuária and Fazenda Boa Esperança, aims to construct a new sugarcane-based ethanol facility in the city of Prata, Minas Gerais, capable of producing not only fuel ethanol but also sugar, yeast and electricity. Construction of the plant, at an estimated cost of US$178 million, is planned to commence by 2026 and be fully operational by 2028, providing over 1,800 jobs in the process. The project is currently passing through the necessary environmental permit process in order for construction to go ahead.

Meanwhile, in Nova Ubiratã, Mato Grosso, Caramuru Alimentos, one of Brazil's leading soya, corn, sunflower and canola processing companies, has partnered with Biocen-Bioenergia Celeiro do Norte to construct a new corn ethanol plant with an initial investment estimated to be more than US$200 million. The site will have the capacity to produce 261 million liters per year of corn ethanol, 12,000 tonnes per year of corn oil and 175,000 tonnes per year of dry bran (distillers' dried grains with solubles) for animal feed. The project is expected to be complete by 2026, and with this investment, Caramuru will diversify its biofuels business which currently only produces biodiesel.
