Raízen-Geo has awarded Italian company Sebigas the contract for the construction of a 17.5 MW biogas plant in Brazil.
Located in the city of Guariba, São Paulo State, the biogas plant will be in the area of Raízen’s second largest ethanol and sugar mill that processes more than 5 million tonnes of sugar cane per year, producing high volumes of vinasse, the main by-product generated from the production of ethanol.
