Alternative Energy
Biofuels

We believe that biofuels offer one of the best large-scale solutions to reduce emissions from transpotation.

We produce ethanol from sugar cane in Brazil. This ethanol has life cycle greenhouse gas emissions that are 70% lower than conventional transport fuels. In 2017 our three sites produced 776 million litres of ethanol equivalent.

Brazil is one of the largest markets globally for ethanol fuel. To better connect our ethanol production with the country’s main fuels markets, we are partnering with Copersucar, the world’s leading ethanol and sugar trader, to operate a major ethanol storage terminal.

Our largest biofuels mill is certified to Bonsucro, an independent standard for sustainable sugar cane production.

Our strategy is enabled by:

  • Safe and reliable operations – continuing to drive improvements in personal, process and transport safety.
  • Competitive feedstock – concentrating our efforts in Brazil, which has one of the most cost-competitive biofuel sources currently available in the world. 
  • Domestic and international markets – selling bioethanol and sugar domestically in Brazil and also to international markets such as the US and Europe through our integrated supply and trading function.

DAM description new

Our industry is changing at a pace not seen in decades. Oil, gas and renewables are becoming more abundant and less costly.

Through new technologies, energy will be produced more efficiently and in new ways, helping to meet the expected rise in demand. And the world is working towards a lower carbon future. Our strategy allows us to be competitive in a time when prices, policy, technology and customer preferences are evolving.
