Praj Industries Expands Global Footprint with Biorefinery Project in Paraguay
In a notable development on the global clean energy front, Praj Industries, a leading Indian bioenergy and engineering company, has signed an agreement with Enersur SA, a Paraguayan energy company, to set up a large-scale ethanol biorefinery project. This project is aimed at producing bioethanol and co-products, reinforcing Praj’s global leadership in the sustainable fuels and bioeconomy space.
Project Overview: A Step Towards Greener Fuel
The project with Enersur SA marks Praj’s entry into Paraguay, expanding its Latin American footprint. The planned biorefinery will be a state-of-the-art facility, designed to produce ethanol derived from sugarcane feedstock, along with valuable co-products such as distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and CO2.
Praj will supply its proprietary technology, engineering expertise, and integrated project execution capabilities for the plant. This aligns with the company’s strategy to support global transitions toward renewable energy and decarbonization.
Strategic Importance of the Deal
This deal is more than just a cross-border commercial agreement. It represents the growing international acceptance of India’s bio-economy technologies. Praj Industries has already established its credibility in multiple countries, including Brazil, Thailand, and the USA. With this latest venture in Paraguay, Praj is now consolidating its position as a preferred partner for sustainable biofuel solutions globally.
Moreover, Latin American countries are increasingly promoting renewable energy sources to reduce fossil fuel dependency, making this a timely collaboration for both parties.
Benefits for Paraguay and Regional Impact
The new biorefinery is expected to significantly contribute to Paraguay’s energy security, rural employment, and agricultural value chain. The facility will also generate clean energy alternatives while creating downstream economic opportunities across logistics, farming, and allied services.
Paraguay has abundant sugarcane resources, and this project will help in converting this into value-added green fuels, thus supporting the country’s carbon reduction targets under the Paris Agreement.
