On Thursday (August 6th), during the webinar “DATAGRO, Soybean, Corn and Cotton Harvesting Season Open in 2020/21”, The president of the National Corn Ethanol Union (UNEM), Guilherme Nolasco, said that Brazilian corn ethanol production, especially in the Central-West region, has potential to produce 2.5 billion liters in 2020/21, compared to 1.6 billion liters produced in 2019/20. Nolasco also highlighted the improvement of the corn residue used for ethanol production (DGG) as a sustainable protein ingredient for animal feed. Erasmo Battistela, president of Aprobio, pointed out that the percentage increase of biodiesel blending in diesel will quadruplicate the volume of soybean used for biofuel manufacturing in 2030. The president of the Corn and Sorghum Sectorial Chamber of the Ministry of Agriculture, Sérgio Bortolozzo, said that the advent of corn ethanol has expanded the opportunities in the grain production chain, guaranteeing the supply of food production, animal feed and generation of energy.
