From Green
To Golden
Brazil presents its Distillers Grains industry to the world. A product that is born from the use of clean energy from biomass and sustainable agriculture and that generates both renewable fuels (corn ethanol) and high-performance source for animal nutrition, contributing to the planet’s food security.
Who We Are
Few Words About
Brazilian Distillers Grains
Brazil is the right place for the production of distillers grains with commercial efficiency and socio-environmental responsibility, now exporting this product to the world.
Biomass Energy
Use of 100% energy from biomass to generate ethanol from corn and distillers grains.

Who We Are
The Brazilian Ethanol and Corn Distillers Sector
It works on two fundamental pillars of our current society: energy security with a focus on the transition to offering clean and renewable fuels, collaborating to reduce the use of fossil fuels, and food security in a world that needs to feed a growing population that wants to consume a diet richer in proteins.
An important fact is that the corn ethanol and distillers grains sector in Brazil uses 100% renewable energy from biomass in the biorefinaries.
Why Distillers Grains?
Distillers grains are a rich source of protein , making them an excellent feed ingredient for livestock.
Substitute other protein sources efficiently and safely.
Proven effective in replacing soybean meal and other protein sources.
Nutrient-dense
3 times more nutrients than the corn kernel itself.
Cost-Benefit
Distillers Grains ensure improved animal performance.
Competitiveness
Distillers Grains are a feasible option to the animal nutrition market with many advantages: technical and commercial.
More Nutritious
