Ethanol and Green and Renewable Energy
CCIPL in association with Millenium Bioenergia together Bring efficiency, productivity, and profitability to the bioenergy sector, accelerating the global energy transition to a bio sustainable future, providing possible alternatives to replace fossil fuels and generating a positive and sustainable impact on people’s lives.
Millenium Bioenergia operates in the sugar-energy sector, innovating the production of biofuels through the ZERO WASTE concept, specializing in the development of projects for the production of corn ethanol and Total Flex plants, which are corn and sugarcane ethanol units. de-sugar plants installed on the same site, sharing most of the equipment.
The company was created to meet the needs, increasingly demanded in the world market, for low carbon biofuels, promoting, developing and managing Total Flex Plant projects for the simultaneous and uninterrupted production of ethanol (from corn and sugarcane), thereby eliminating the decrease in productivity caused by off-seasons, since corn can be processed 365 days a year.
An integrator, the company unites and brings together several market-leading companies and professionals with recognized expertise in the ethanol, power generation and steam sectors, capitalizing on synergies around their developments for structuring projects and businesses involving ethanol and its co-products with DDGS (animal feed), sugar, Food Grade Carbon dioxide, Bio-oil, Electricity.
Seeking full efficiency in its projects, Millenium Bioenergia is based on fundamental pillars that form an innovative business model, marking a multi-regional operation, through the strategic location of its projects, using established and diversified technologies for the integration of the value chain – from natural resources to waste to energy generation – culminating in a different way of selling and distributing products, which is safer and more effective.
Today the organization is in charge of greenfield projects (under implementation) in the states of Amazonas, Roraima, Rondônia, Mato Grosso and has a subsidiary in Wellington, Florida -USA (joint venture with Sugarism Trade & Consulting Inc.) and, at the invitation of the government Australian, in an advanced stage of feasibility studies for the implementation of a Total Flex unit in Queensland, the northeast region of the country.
The company also explores brownfield projects, through the acquisition of units in a recovery situation, where Revamp or Retrofit will work on existing sugarcane units, optimizing processes to solve problems of profitability and low efficiency.
PRODUCTS:
Ethanol
Produced through the fermentation of starch and other sugars, especially sugar cane and corn, ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol (C2H6O), is a highly flammable and colorless biofuel, widely used in automobiles and can be 100% in the form of hydrated ethanol or mixed with gasoline in different proportions in anhydrous form.
It is a renewable fuel, as its raw material is obtained from plants grown by man and is an efficient, clean (emits fewer polluting gases) and cheaper alternative to reducing the use of oil.
Ethanol production globally is in the order of 100 billion liters – the USA is the world’s largest producer of the fuel, responsible for the manufacture of 60 billion liters, while Brazil occupies the second position, responsible for the manufacture of 30 billion liters. India is also increasing Ethanol Production to meet the commitments towards blending with fosil fuel or use as stand alone fuel.
Brazil is the country with the most advanced technology in manufacturing ethanol from sugar cane, while the USA is the largest producer of ethanol from corn in the world.
Corn has been consolidating itself as a source of ethanol due to its high yield – while a ton of sugarcane produces between 70 and 85 liters of hydrated ethanol, a ton of corn can produce between 370 and 460 liters of this same alcohol. Millenium Bioenergia uses technology in its process that can produce over 430 liters per ton of corn.
The production of corn ethanol in Brazil has been advancing rapidly and it is estimated that in 10 years it could surpass the volume produced by ethanol from sugar cane.
Total Flex innovation in ethanol production:
Total Flex as a production system? In this operating model, a production unit that extracts ethanol and co-products from corn is incorporated into the sugarcane ethanol plant and is capable of operating all year round. Even though the sugarcane and corn production processes are different, they can be in the same location sharing the same tankage, cogeneration, operation, maintenance and labor, increasing the plant’s profitability and characterizing the name Full flex.
With this system, several co-products are obtained from the same raw material: ethanol, DDGS, sugar, bio-oil and CO2. In addition to making ethanol production economically viable, the products resulting from this operational model represent a positive gain across the entire governance structure, environment and society, because it reduces costs, reduces the number of gas emissions and does not compromise product quality. DDGS (Dried Distillers Grains and Soluble), for example, a co-product used as feed for confined animals (cattle, pigs, chickens and fish farming), has a high market value and a significant competitive price within this operational system.
In general, it is a very intelligent structure to adopt a Total Flex operation. Firstly, due to the expectations and profitability possibilities present in corn; secondly, because attention to environmental impacts are fundamental points for a company today, in addition to becoming an attractive investment that boosts the national and local economy. The countless production possibilities and new products within Total Flex are what consolidate an innovative model and an agribusiness structure far beyond conventional production methods. It’s about developing the sector responsibly, and towards a more sustainable and profitable future at the same time.
Biogas and Biofertilizer
At Millenium Bioenergia’s plants, biogas will be obtained through the anaerobic bio-digestion of vinasse, simultaneously producing an organic fertilizer, biofertilizer.
The biogas will be used in the boiler to generate electricity for self-consumption at plants and for the sale of surplus. This biogas can be treated to separate main constituents Co2 and Methane. At 96% plus purity Methane is compressed and compressed to use within or sale in Indian Markest under SATAT Scheme of Government of India
The biofertilizer will be used in agriculture, as a source of nutrients for cultivation
Distillation-Dried-Grain And Solubles
The DDG by-product (distillation-dried grains), extracted during the distillation process, is a protein concentrate that can be an economically viable alternative for animal feed that has a low price and is a by-product with high added value.
One ton of corn can produce 300 to 350 kg of DDGS, with at least 30% crude protein, a lower index than that of soybean bran, which has 45% protein value, but much higher than that found in corn bran, with 8% protein.
With the growth in corn ethanol production, an increase in the supply of DDGS (distillers’ dried grains with soluble) and DDG (distillers’ dried grains) is also expected.
At Millenium Bioenergia, for each ton of corn used to produce ethanol, 330 kg of high-protein DDGS will be produced, due to the technology used in its process, which is unique in the sector. This nutrient-rich co-product can be used as feed for cattle, pigs, poultry, shrimp and fish.
