Emerging Markets Online Since 2008, biofuels sustainability criteria in the US, EU and UN have created favorable investment trends in Brazil during a challenging global economic recession. Since 2009, a consolidation among Brazil’s sugar cane production facilities and conglomerates have lead to favorable terms for 1st generation sugar cane ethanol acquisitions, and attractive conditions for next-generation, integrated biorefineries. The convergence of these factors has lead to a favorable series of investments in Brazil, where Shell and BP have entered into multi-billion dollar ventures (Shell-Cosan JV at $12 billion, BP’s $8 billion through 2015) as examples this new trend of emerging markets technology ventures.
Strategic Partnerships In the near future, these fermentation-based biorefineries will be able to convert multiple inputs from cellulosic sugars- bagasse,vinasse, glycerin, switchgrass, wood chips, and bio-solids into a portfolio of outputs, including renewable diesel, aviation fuel, bio-crude oil, biochemicals and biopolymers.
Portfolio Approaches By utilizing this portfolio approach, these biorefineries will not repeat the same mistakes 1st generation corn ethanol and biodiesel plants made by utilizing a single commodity as an input to produce just one commodity as an output. The petroleum fuels and biofuels business is a brutally competitive commodity industry, where volume, volatility, diversity, hedging, and achieving profitability in the margins are keys to success. These technology upgrades to existing refineries will help to lead to the advancement of the biofuels industry towards diversified feedstock inputs, outputs, technologies and alliances.
Emerging Markets Brazil’s long-term political and economic stability, coupled with advanced technologies from US and EU industry partners, will provide an “early-adopters” template for testing and achieving large-scale, successfully integrated, diversified, biorefineries. Brazil’s leadership and progress in attracting investment, technology is likely to benefit the other big emerging markets of China and India as these emerging partnerships and portfolios progress.
