Completed in December 2014, the new US$105 million facility was built next to the existing conventional sugarcane ethanol plant to ensure efficiency and competitiveness for the whole production process. The 42 million litres per annum unit converts biomass such as sugarcane bagasse and straw into cellulosic ethanol. – The production of second-generation ethanol from sugarcane bagasse is the realisation of a dream for the country. The collaboration between the State and Raízen is part of the government’s commitment to ethanol production as a strategic measure for economic development, said Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff in her inauguration address. The unit is the first large-scale commercial implementation of cellulosic ethanol technology from Iogen Energy, a joint venture between Raízen and Canada-based Iogen Corporation. Raízen had previously announced that, given a success at Costa Pinto, it intends to deploy Iogen Energy`s technology in seven more Raízen sugarcane mills, which if fully executed would increase its current ethanol production by 50 percent from the same acreage. – We plan to be producing up to 1 billion litres of cellulosic biofuel from bagasse and cane straw by 2024, said Pedro Mizutani, Executive Vice President, Raizen in a statement. Raízen is a joint venture between Royal Dutch Shell and Brazilian ethanol company Cosan SA. Raízen produces more than 2 billion litres of ethanol annually, 4 million tonnes of sugar, and has an installed electric capacity of 940 MW. BI81/4985/AS
