With 3.7 billion liters elaborate and the expansion of plants, Mato Grosso concentrates ten of the 24 biorefinarians in the country and leads the second harvest.
On the banks of BR-163, in Sinop (mt)A structure of steel towers, pipelines and tanks resembles a futuristic scenario. The traile of trailers loaded by corn It gives a clue to what the signs indicate: the place is the largest refinery of corn for the production of Ethanol from Latin America. In 2024, Inpasa caused 3.7 billion liters – almost half of the biocarburanto produced in the country. In the general anta market, including sugar caneParticipation was 12%.
Second Sugar and bioenergy union industry (unique)2024 was the year of the largest offer in ethanol in the country, with 36.8 billion liters products – 4.4% more than the previous year. The participation of the Aanololo di corn grows and the expectation of National Union of Corn Etanolo (UNEM) It must reach 10 billion liters in the 2025/2026 harvest, 20% more than the previous ones, 8.19 billion liters. This already puts Brazil as the second largest producer all over the world, behind only the United States.
Material for this, Brazil has, as it is the third corn manufacturer in the world. Over the past ten years, national production has increased by 40% and today is around 130 million tons, according to the National Supply Company (Conab).
The corn seduces the manufacturer with extra attractions: it can be stored, which facilitates production planning, it is grown in a maximum of three crops and generates precious co -profounds used in the feeding of animals and in oil.
The inpasa unit produces 1 million tons of dry distillery cereals with solubles (DDG) – highly added protein alternative to the soy branch of animal diet – 105,000 tons of oil and bioelectricity of 804.1 GWh.
In the infoasa, the unloaded corn is crushed, hydrated and receives yeast for fermentation in gigantic dornas. After grinding, the oil is separated by centrifugation, obtaining anhydrous and hydrated ethanol, in addition to the DDG. A digital platform is part of the operations by monitoring the waste and the destination in real time.
Biomass turns into electricityconsumed in units, with the surplus inserted in the National Integrated System (SIN). “Mato Grosso, as a strategic agricultural center, remains fundamental for our plans: in addition to Sinop and Nova Mutum, we evaluate new opportunities to strengthen our verticalization and logistical efficiency”, says Flávio Peruzo Gonçalves, vice -president of business and origin from Inpasa.
The Sinop unit uses 1,200 professionals. In total, there are 2.8 thousand in Brazil, adding the units of Nova Mutum (MT), Sidrolândia (MS), Dourados (MS) AND Balsas (MA). A new system is launched LuÃs Eduardo Magalhães (Ba)with an investment of $ 4.9 billion.
The arrival of refinery in 2018 brought more incentives for the production of corn in the region, since all the wheat intended for grinding is purchased by local producers. For this, the company requires social and environmental references and encourages sustainable practices in the production sectors.
“The plant absorbs an important part of the local supply of corn and stimulates the cultivation of the second harvest, offering liquidity and predictability to the producers, which strengthen agriculture, generates income and guide logistical development,” says Gonçalves.
Previously, most of the northern corn of Mato Grosso were exported, a logistical challenge that also made it difficult to expand the second harvest. With refinery, producers have a greater liquidity of the harvest and stimulus to the field techniques. “Before planting corn only to have straw in the ground. With the refinery, the corn gained value and we started investing in seeds, fertilizers and technology. It was an open door,” says Manufacturer Invaldo Weiss, Santa Carmem.
Mato Grosso leads to the corn from corn to an ananol, with 12.5 million tons, according to the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economy (IMEA).
It is in view of Mato Grosso do on (3.51 mi) and Goiás (2.1 mi). The UNEM data indicate that 10 of the 24 Biorefinaries of Ethanol of corn in operation in the country are Mato Grosso on the ground; 16 have the authorization of construction and 16 are planned.
In SmileFS processes 4.8 million tons of corn and produces 2.3 billion liters of ethanol, plus 1.7 million tons of ddg. New activities come out. Corn supplier for Inpasa, Weiss and Partners have invested $ 1 billion in the Green Hyanol of Mato Grosso (Evermat), which will begin to process 1,200 tons of corn per day in March. “We already have 1 million bags in stock,” says Weiss.
