Corn ethanol, which accounts for 37% of output, is driving growth in Mato Grosso do Sul’s bioenergy sector. In the 2024–25 harvest, the state had a 10% increase in ethanol output, with 4.2 billion liters of the fuel being produced, even though sugarcane crushing fell by 5.1%. The state has avoided emitting 13.7 million tons of CO₂ since 2020 and is still in line with the Carbon Neutral 2030 target, which has helped it keep its position as the fourth biggest producer in the nation. The sector’s progress was highlighted at Expocanas 2025. It was predicted that sugarcane crushing will increase by 3.5% and ethanol production by 11% for the next harvest.
