Isolux Corsan has been awarded a contract from Bioenergy (Colombia), for building an industrial complex, part of which is to be a bioethanol production plant, which will be using sugar cane as the material source. The new plant will be able to process about 2.1 millino tons of cane annually. Additionally, as part of the complex, Isolux will be building a 40 MW cogeneration plant bagasse or sugar cane waste as fuel. Other facilities include milling, distillation and vinasse production using the same raw material. The new complex will be located in the Meta Department of Colombia, on former cattle ranch land. The total value of the contract is about USD 140 million.

This will be the first bioethanol project for Isolux Corsan, outside of Europe.
