FS runs integrated biorefineries in Brazil that transform corn into renewable ethanol, corn oil, and high‑protein dried distillers grains (DDG) while also generating electricity through cogeneration. By processing over 5.9 million tons of corn annually, the company supplies low‑carbon liquid fuel, renewable power, and feed ingredients, reducing waste and the overall carbon intensity of the corn value chain.

Problem
Reliance on fossil fuels and inefficient utilization of corn harvests create high carbon emissions and limit the availability of sustainable energy and animal nutrition sources.
Solution
FS operates integrated biorefineries that convert corn into renewable ethanol, corn oil, and high‑protein dried distillers grains (DDG) while generating electricity through cogeneration. By processing millions of tons of corn annually, the company supplies low‑carbon liquid fuel for transport, renewable power for the grid, and valuable feed ingredients for livestock producers. The integrated model captures and utilizes by‑products, reducing waste and overall greenhouse‑gas intensity of the corn value chain. FS also leverages its production scale to secure corn supply at stable prices, ensuring consistent output for its energy and nutrition markets.
Target Audience
Primary customers include fuel distributors and renewable‑energy utilities seeking low‑carbon ethanol, as well as livestock feed manufacturers and agribusinesses requiring high‑quality DDG and corn oil.
