TURN YOUR WASTE INTO PROFIT WITH SECOND-GENERATION ETHANOL

Second-generation ethanol, or cellulosic ethanol, revolutionizes biofuel production by using non-food biomass, such as agricultural and forestry waste, to produce renewable energy. Unlike traditional ethanol, which relies on food crops, this innovative process involves pre-treatment, enzymatic hydrolysis to convert cellulose into sugars, fermentation of these into ethanol, and subsequent distillation and purification, promoting a more sustainable and efficient energy alternative.

Reduced Waste Disposal Costs

Converting waste into ethanol reduces the need for and costs associated with traditional disposal, such as landfills or incineration.

Creating a New Revenue Source

The ethanol produced can be used domestically as fuel, reducing the purchase of fossil fuels, or it can be sold as a new revenue source.
Energy Independence

Second-generation ethanol production contributes to companies’ energy independence, reducing their vulnerability to fossil fuel price fluctuations.
Long-Term Cost Efficiency

While the initial investment in second-generation ethanol production technology can be significant, the long-term benefits include stability and predictability in energy costs.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM 2ND GENERATION ETHANOL PRODUCTION?

Whether you are in the agricultural, food, pulp and paper industries, a municipality seeking sustainable solutions for waste, or an energy company looking to diversify its energy mix, second generation ethanol production offers a unique opportunity to reduce costs, generate additional revenue and promote sustainability. With Tupã Bioenergia, transforming waste into valuable resources is an affordable reality, contributing to a greener and more economically efficient future for your company.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

Tupã Bioenergia uses an innovative four-step process to convert agricultural, forestry and urban waste into second-generation ethanol, a clean and sustainable energy solution. Learn about the steps that make sustainability a tangible reality.
1
Waste Collection and Preparation

We begin by collecting agricultural, forestry or urban waste. These materials are then prepared for processing, which may include grinding or drying, to facilitate the extraction of sugars.
2
Pre-treatment

The prepared residues undergo pre-treatment to break down the lignin and expose the cellulose and hemicellulose, making the sugars more accessible for the hydrolysis step.
3
Hydrolysis and Fermentation

In hydrolysis, enzymes are used to convert cellulose and hemicellulose into simple sugars. These sugars are then fermented by specific microorganisms to produce ethanol.
4
Distillation and Purification

Ethanol is separated and purified through distillation, resulting in a high-quality biofuel, ready to be used or sold.
