What Bioenergética Aroeira S.A. does

Bioenergética Aroeira S.A. is a vertically integrated Brazilian sugarcane processor headquartered in Tupaciguara, Minas Gerais, with 799 employees. The company operates an integrated production model labeled "do campo à indústria" (from field to industry), transforming sugarcane into four core products: (1) Açúcar VHP (Very High Polarization raw sugar) for export markets, (2) Etanol Hidratado Carburante for Brazil's domestic flex-fuel vehicle market, (3) Etanol Anidro Carburante sold as a gasoline additive to domestic fuel distributors, and (4) renewable electricity generated from sugarcane biomass cogeneration, with surplus sold to the national grid via ONS/ANEEL. The company is controlled by Aroeira Holding, a holding created in 2020 that consolidated the operations of the Família Feres (with decades of agricultural experience in sugarcane, corn, soy, and cattle) and Perplan (founded in 2000 with construction expertise in the sugar-alcohol sector).

The company operates a B2B commodity model with contract-based pricing across sugar export channels, domestic fuel distribution networks, and regulated electricity sales. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with supplier portals for agricultural partners and dedicated procurement channels for industrial buyers. The facility integrates advanced wastewater treatment, intelligent water recirculation circuits, and byproduct reintegration systems (vinasse, filter cake, ash, soot recycled as soil conditioners), closing the agricultural-industrial loop. The company holds Bonsucro, RenovaBio, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO/IEC 17025 certifications, positioning it within ESG-compliant sugarcane supply chains. Recent strategic investments include SAP S/4HANA ERP implementation (2025), a new Code of Ethics and Conduct (2025), and Great Place to Work certification (2025). No funding rounds, M&A activity, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Bioenergética Aroeira S.A. is a Brazilian bioenergy company that processes sugarcane to produce Very High Polarization (VHP) raw sugar for export markets, hydrated and anhydrous fuel ethanol for Brazil's domestic fuel market, and renewable electricity via biomass cogeneration with surplus sold to the national electrical grid. Operations are vertically integrated from sugarcane cultivation through industrial processing, with byproducts such as vinasse, filter cake and ash reintegrated into the agricultural cycle as soil conditioners.

Product overview

Bioenergética Aroeira S.A. is a Brazilian bioenergy company that produces multiple products from sugarcane processing. The company's portfolio includes four core products: Açúcar VHP (Very High Polarization raw sugar for export), Etanol Hidratado Carburante (hydrated fuel ethanol for vehicles with flex technology), Etanol Anidro Carburante (anhydrous ethanol as gasoline additive), and Energia Elétrica (renewable electricity from biomass that supplies the plant and feeds the national grid). The integrated production model follows a 'do campo à indústria' (from field to industry) approach, transforming sugarcane into both energy products and food, with byproducts like vinasse and filter cake being recycled back to the field as soil conditioners.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Açúcar VHP (Very High Polarization Sugar) High-purity raw sugar (Very High Polarization) produced from sugarcane via efficient industrial processing that preserves raw material quality. Entire production is oriented toward the export market, meeting rigorous international quality standards for downstream sugar refining operations.
• Etanol Hidratado Carburante (Hydrated Fuel Ethanol) Hydrated ethanol used for fueling vehicles with ethanol or flex-fuel engines. A renewable alternative sold to the Brazilian domestic fuel market that reduces emissions and supports sustainable mobility.
• Etanol Anidro Carburante (Anhydrous Fuel Ethanol) Anhydrous ethanol used as a gasoline additive that enhances engine performance and efficiency. Contributes to emission reduction and decreases dependence on fossil fuels, sold to Brazilian fuel distributors.
• Energia Elétrica (Cogenerated Electricity) Clean and renewable electricity generated from sugarcane biomass cogeneration. Powers the entire industrial unit, with surplus electricity contributed to Brazil's national electrical system under regulated cogeneration agreements.
