LS9 Inc., a closely held U.S. biotechnology company, may build Brazil’s biggest biofuel and specialty chemicals factory as more companies seek to produce new products from sugar cane, the world’s cheapest fuel crop.
The company is planning a facility may be able to produce as much as 200 million gallons (758 million liters) of fuel and chemicals a year, more than two-thirds bigger than Brazil’s largest biofuels plant, South San Francisco, California-based LS9’s Chief Executive Officer Edward Dineen said in an interview.
