Ottawa-based Iogen Corp. announced Wednesday it has begun production of cellulosic ethanol at a plant in São Paulo, Brazil.
Iogen is partnering with Raizen, a Brazilian ethanol producer, in the project.
Cellulosic ethanol comes from inedible parts of plants, as well as wood and grass. The Brazilian operation, using sugar cane and straw, is the first commercial use of Iogen’s cellulosic ethanol technology, which was developed in Ottawa.
