South America is the land of abundant natural resources like fertile soils, water and minerals. The agrarian continent has soil-climate conditions suitable for sugarcane cultivation. This has led to the development of downstream industry of ethanol and other bioenergy and chemicals.
One of the most efficient sugar producers of the world, Colombia is also an exemplar in successful implementation of ethanol blending program in the world. Colombia's fuel ethanol program was launched in 2002 when the government passed a law mandating use of fuel ethanol in gasoline.
Praj is proud to fulfil 100% of Colombia’s fuel ethanol programme by installing ethanol production plants. These plants serve as a benchmark in the entire South American continent.
Production of first fuel ethanol plant began in October 2005 with an output of 300000 liter per day in the Cauca Region. By March 2006, four More plants in the Cauca Valley were operational with a combined capacity of 1.05 million liter per day or 357 million liter per year.
Besides Colombia, Praj has references in Argentina, Peru, Guatemala, Mexico and many other South Central American countries.
Praj serves clients in South and North America from its office in Houston, Texas.
