Brazil is strengthening its position in renewable energy by expanding second-generation ethanol (E2G) production, with several advanced biofuel plants being developed across the country, biofuels international reported.
These plants convert sugarcane bagasse and agricultural residues into low-carbon ethanol, helping increase fuel production while lowering greenhouse gas emissions and reducing the need for additional land.
As the country expands its E2G infrastructure, ensuring durable and sustainable industrial construction has become a major focus. Ethanol plants operate in challenging conditions, including exposure to organic acids, moisture, and chemical byproducts that can gradually damage conventional concrete structures.
To tackle these issues, project developers are adopting Penetron concrete protection technology to improve the strength and lifespan of key structures.
Penetron’s crystalline waterproofing solution penetrates deep into concrete and forms insoluble crystals that block water and chemical entry. The technology is designed to protect foundations, containment areas, tanks, and processing facilities from corrosion and deterioration.
By lowering maintenance needs and extending the service life of infrastructure, the solution supports Brazil’s sustainability objectives.
