Partnerships
Shell and Cosan Joint Venture
Shell and Cosan’s 2011 joint venture gives Raízen global brand equity and local ops depth; Shell supplies tech and a retail network, Cosan brings agribusiness and logistics know‑how, enabling Raízen to process ~40m m3 biofuel feedstock and operate 7,400 service stations by 2024.
Independent Sugarcane Suppliers
Raízen contracts with over 20,000 independent sugarcane suppliers to supplement its own fields, securing roughly 40% of the cane feedstock for its 33 bioenergy parks and 34 ethanol plants as of 2025. Long-term contracts and technical-assistance programs—covering 1.2 million hectares with sustainability metrics tied to ESG-linked pricing—boost yields and ensure utilization rates above 85% to meet global biofuel demand.
Technology and Research Alliances
Automotive and Transport OEMs
Strategic cooperation with vehicle manufacturers and logistics firms helps Raízen drive ethanol and hydrogen uptake; partnerships with VW, Toyota trialed flex-fuel tech and hydrogen fleets, supporting Raízen’s 2024 renewable fuels sales of ~18 billion liters.
These partners co-develop engines and refueling infrastructure that integrate Raízen’s biofuels and green hydrogen, securing biofuels’ role as transport decarbonizes and protecting long-term demand.
- 2024 renewables sales ~18 billion liters
- OEM trials: VW, Toyota flex/hydrogen pilots
- Targets: scale refueling network, cut transport CO2
Strategic Financial and Green Bond Investors
Raízen raises capital from international banks and ESG investors via green bonds and sustainability-linked loans tied to emissions and biofuel targets, funding its E2G (electricity-to-gas) plants and renewables expansion; in 2024 Raízen reported R$5.2bn of green financing commitments supporting its 2030 low-carbon roadmap.

Activities
Integrated Bioenergy Production
Raízen runs large-scale sugarcane cultivation and industrial processing to produce sugar, ethanol, and bioenergy, operating 29 integrated bioenergy parks where bagasse and vinasse are reused as fuel and fertilizer to boost circularity. By late 2025 Raízen reported a 7% rise in energy yield per hectare after deploying precision agriculture and automation across 120,000 hectares, cutting operating costs ~5% and raising EBITDA contribution from bioenergy to ~22% of total.
Fuel Distribution and Marketing
Raízen runs one of South America’s largest fuel networks, delivering product to over 7,000 Shell-branded stations across Brazil and neighboring markets through 2024, supported by 75 storage terminals and a logistics fleet that moved ~18 billion liters of fuel in 2024.
The activity covers terminal management, fleet logistics, strict HSE (health, safety, environment) protocols and marketing of premium fuels and lubricants, which commanded higher margins and helped retail segment EBITDA of BRL 3.2 billion in 2024.
Second-Generation Ethanol Scaling
Raízen scales E2G (second-generation ethanol) by building specialized plants that convert sugarcane residues into advanced biofuels, boosting ethanol yield per hectare without extra land; two commercial plants commissioned in 2023–24 target ~200 million liters/year each.
By 2025 Raízen prioritizes stabilizing volumes to meet EU and US low‑carbon fuel standards, aiming for ~400 million liters consolidated output and capex ~BRL 1.2 billion invested through 2024.
Renewable Power Generation and Trading
Raízen converts sugarcane bagasse and other biomass into renewable power, supplying its mills and selling surplus to Brazil’s grid; in 2024 its cogeneration and biomass fleet produced roughly 3.6 TWh, while +solar additions target 0.5 GW by 2025.
Its energy trading desk manages dispatch and PPA sales, offering tailored decarbonization contracts to large industrial clients, leveraging Raízen’s scale as one of Brazil’s top power sellers.
