Raízen

A joint venture of Cosan and Shell, Raízen is Brazil’s fourth-largest company by revenue, Brazil’s second-largest fuel distribution company, a leading manufacturer of sugarcane ethanol in Brazil and the largest individual sugar exporter in the global market.

Renewables

  • Crushing capacity of 105 million tons of sugarcane in 35 Bioenergy Parks
  • Production of 3 billion liters of ethanol
  • 1.3 GW of installed capacity of electricity produced from sugarcane bagasse

Ethanol: our product is generated from sugarcane, and is used in fuel, perfumes, beverages, paints, chemicals and plastics. We are also one of the first Brazilian companies to engage in commercial-scale production of ethanol using Second-Generation Ethanol (E2G), a competitive solution to meet a growing demand for biofuel in Brazil and worldwide.

Bioenergy: sugarcane byproducts are also the raw material for generating bioelectricity, an alternative for Brazil’s energy sector. The reuse of biomass (sugarcane bagasse and straw) for this purpose reduces fossil-fuel CO² emissions in Brazil.
