SAO Martinho of Brazil, the world's largest sugar processing plant in Pradopolis, S?o Paulo state, said it was exploring expanding ethanol production from corn in addition to sugar cane, Reuters reported on February 11.
Sao Martinho, who heads the project, said the project was being evaluated and that the main problem facing the project was logistics, as corn needed to be transported from the Midwest to the processing site, but the plant's size effect could offset logistics costs and ensure the project's profit margins.
state of S?o Paulo is Brazil's main sugarcane producer.
several sugar and ethanol processing plants in Brazil are installing equipment to produce ethanol from corn.
this model is considered economically cost-effective, as corn can be processed from sugarcane waste as an energy source, extending the plant's production cycle from the current April-December sugarcane production period to the whole year.
corn ethanol investment projects in Brazil are growing rapidly, but most of them are located in the central and western states, such as Mato Grosso and Goias, the largest corn-producing states.
maize from Mato Grosso do not usually need to be shipped to the port of Santos in the state of S?o Paulo.
, some analysts say it is feasible to produce corn ethanol in the state of S?o Paulo.
