The biofuel has confirmed applicability in several projected fronts, such as SAF (sustainable aviation fuel), green hydrogen and marine fuel. In total, the Ra\u00edzen project foresees investments of approximately R$1.4 billion and the generation of more than 1,500 direct jobs during the construction phase and 200 during operation, per plant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The E2G plant, unlike the conventional method of ethanol production (fermentation of sugarcane juice with yeast), uses specially formulated enzymes to extract the sugars present in the cellulose of sugarcane bagasse, which are subsequently fermented by yeast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Currently, E2G production in the world is incipient, representing less than 1% of ethanol production in Brazil. With financial support from BNDES, national capacity could reach 440 million liters of the biofuel, considering Ra\u00edzen&#8217;s six plants. In comparison, first-generation ethanol production in Brazil reached an average of 34.2 billion liters in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Brazil, National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) approved financing totaling R$1 billion for Ra\u00edzen Energia S\/A to build a second-generation Cellulosic Ethanol Unit, E2G, in Andradina (SP), with an installed production capacity of up to 82 million liters per year.
