BioFlex I entered into operation with GP+ technology in 2017 in São Miguel, Alagoas (Brazil). It is the first cellulosic ethanol plant to operate in the Southern Hemisphere and converts sugar cane straw into 2G ethanol with 8.2gCO2equ/MJ carbon footprint delivered in Europe (Certified by RSB).

BioFlex I uses GreenPower+ technology:

GranBio has developed know-how to harvest, store, and treat more than 200,000 tons of sugar cane straw per year. This logistics allows BioFlex I to operate outside the harvest season.

BioFlex Max

GranBio develops a disruptive large-scale project using energy cane and AVAP technology Platform to produce 100 million gallons of Net Zero SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) at scale in 50,000 hectare clusters.

The BioFlex Max biorefineries will generate highly positive social benefit and environmental impact when deployed in degraded or pasture areas. Brazil has 150 million hectares of degraded and pasture land not used for food and Africa has approximately 1 billion hectares of available land.
