Isolux Corsán's presence in Latin America has recently been expanded when it opened its own offices in Colombia, following the award of an EPC project for the local company, Bioenergy for the generation of bioethanol from sugarcane.
Bioenergy is 85%-owned by the local oil company, Ecopetrol. The venture entails the construction of an industrial complex including a bioethanol plant using sugarcane, with a processing capacity for 2.1m tonnes of sugar cane a year; plus a 40-MW electrical co-generation plant, fired by sugar cane residues or bagazo; and other facilities for milling, distilling and producing wine lees using the same raw material.
Construction of an industrial complex with a bioethanol plant and a co-generation plant.
This industrial complex is being built in the Meta department, between the municipal districts of Puerto López and Puerto Gaitán, an area with a long tradition of livestock farming which is now turning to the cultivation of arable crops, including sugar cane.
The contract is worth US$ 140m and is the first biofuel project that Isolux Corsán has carried out outside Europe.
