Stars
Raizen Second Generation Ethanol
Raízen’s second-generation (cellulosic) ethanol is a Star: by end-2025 it held roughly 35% of global commercial cellulosic fuel capacity, driven by ~120 ktpa output and offtake from aviation and shipping low-carbon fuel programs.
Strong demand from SAF and maritime decarbonization, plus Brazil’s RENOVA biofuel incentives, support projected CAGR >20% through 2030 despite heavy upfront capex (~$600–800/ton installed in recent projects).
Compass LNG Infrastructure
TRGN and other regasification terminals under Compass Gás e Energia are Stars in Cosan’s BCG matrix, holding a leading ~45% market share of Brazil’s LNG import capacity in 2024 and handling ~12 bcm/year equivalent throughput.
These assets are key to energy security and liberalization as Brazil diversifies its energy mix; Compass allocated BRL 1.2 billion in 2024–25 capex to expand capacity by ~30% and tie into the national pipeline grid.
Rumo Lucas do Rio Verde Extension
Rumo Lucas do Rio Verde Extension is a Stars asset: massive rail expansion into Mato Grosso taps Brazil’s agricultural frontier, targeting a region producing ~40% of national soy/maize output and handling ~35 Mt grain growth potential by 2026.
With long-term concessions and new logistics corridors, Rumo secures dominant grain-to-port flows; the project required ~BRL 3.2bn capex (2023–25) and raises EBITDA runway despite heavy cash burn.
Moove International Expansion
Moove, Cosan’s lubricant arm, has expanded into Europe and the US via acquisitions and ExxonMobil supply/marketing deals, targeting specialty lubricants where premium pricing drives gross margins above 30% (Cosan 2024 segment trend).
Growth is strong: revenue for Moove-like operations rose ~22% YoY in 2024, but EBITDA margins are compressed by high promo and integration costs, cutting near-term free cash flow.
- High-growth specialty market: premium pricing, >30% gross margins
- Geographic push: Europe + US via acquisitions + ExxonMobil pacts
- 2024 revenue lift ~22% YoY; integration raises SG&A
- Short-term: high promotion/integration spend; long-term market leadership target
Renewable Energy and Biomethane
Raízen and Compass joint ventures scale biomethane from sugarcane waste to ~220 GWh/year of renewable gas capacity by 2024, giving Cosan a first-mover edge as industrials target 30–40% Scope 1/2 decarbonization by 2030.
Rapid market growth (global biomethane demand +8% CAGR 2020–24) needs continued capex for purification and grid injection; Cosan should reinvest to secure long-term offtakes and capture premium pricing.
- 220 GWh/year capacity (Raízen/Compass, 2024)
- Industrial demand aiming 30–40% emissions cuts by 2030
- Market growth ~8% CAGR 2020–24
- Requires ongoing capex for purification/injection
Brazilian energy & logistics stars: Raízen, Compass LNG, Rumo expansion, Moove growth
Stars: Raízen cellulosic ethanol (~120 ktpa; ~35% global capacity end‑2025); Compass LNG regas (~45% Brazil market; ~12 bcm/year throughput, BRL 1.2bn capex 2024–25); Rumo Lucas extension (targets +35 Mt grain; BRL 3.2bn capex 2023–25); Moove specialty lubes (+22% rev 2024; >30% gross margin).
| Asset | Metric | 2024–25 |
|---|---|---|
| Raízen | Cellulosic ktpa / share | 120 / 35% |
| Compass LNG | Throughput / capex | 12 bcm / BRL 1.2bn |
| Rumo | Grain growth / capex | +35 Mt / BRL 3.2bn |
| Moove | Rev growth / margin | +22% / >30% |

Cash Cows
Comgas Distribution Network
Comgas, Cosan’s crown jewel in the Compass portfolio, serves São Paulo’s industrialized, densely populated market with ~4.5 million customers and a 2024 regulated RAB (regulated asset base) near BRL 9.2 billion, delivering dominant market share and stable volumes.
Long-term regulated contracts produced ~BRL 1.8 billion EBITDA in 2024 and margins >35%, creating high-margin cash flow that funds Cosan’s growth.
Capex focuses on maintenance and efficiency (≈BRL 260 million in 2024), so excess cash finances upstream and mobility investments across the group.
Raizen Fuel Distribution
Operating under the Shell brand, Raízen Fuel Distribution runs Brazil’s largest retail network with ~6,300 service stations (2024) and >20% national market share, making it a clear cash cow in Cosan’s BCG matrix.
The mature fuel market shows low volume growth (~1–2% CAGR 2022–24) but produced R$12.4 billion EBITDA for Raízen in 2024, yielding strong free cash flow and steady dividends.
That liquidity covered ~R$8.7 billion of Cosan group debt service and capital needs in 2024 and funds investments into renewables like biofuels and EV charging.
Rumo Core Rail Network
The Malha Norte and Malha Sul corridors handle roughly 60% of Brazil’s rail freight for soy, sugar and iron ore, underpinning Rumo’s market share above 50% in key corridors as of 2025; these mature assets generate steady EBITDA margins near 45% and free cash flow supporting Cosan’s dividend and capex needs.
Moove Brazil Lubricants
Moove Brazil Lubricants is the market leader in Brazil, holding roughly 28% market share in passenger-car and industrial lubricants in 2024 and selling over 220 kilotons annually, so it benefits from a mature, predictable consumer base.
Low capex needs versus downstream fuel and ethanol segments keep EBITDA margins around 18–22% (2024 reported), enabling strong free cash flow that supports Moove’s international rollout.
Its cash generation funded 40% of Moove’s 2023–24 overseas M&A and distribution investments, making it the Cosan group’s primary internal finance engine.
- ~28% Brazil market share (2024)
- ~220 kt annual sales volume (2024)
- EBITDA margin 18–22% (2024)
- Funded ~40% of 2023–24 international expansion
Radar Land Management
Radar Land Management in Cosan oversees about 850,000 hectares of prime Brazilian farmland, targeting long-term appreciation and ~3–4% annual lease yields (2025 est.), driven by steady demand for crop rotation and biofuel feedstock.
The land-management market is mature; Radar’s scale and local expertise keep occupancy above 95% and provide predictable cash flow with minimal capex, serving as low-risk collateral for Cosan’s financing.
- 850,000 ha portfolio
- 3–4% lease yield (2025 est.)
- 95%+ occupancy
- Low reinvestment, high collateral value
High‑margin Brazilian assets: Comgas, Raízen, Rumo, Moove & Radar—stable cash flows 2024–25
