Green Social Bioethanol:

Sustainable Energy Autonomy

GBEP Second Bioenergy Week – Maputo, May 6th

At Green, we help solve the

complex outcomes of energy

poverty by proposing the Social

Bioethanol concept as a vector for

human development, bringing

autonomy and awareness to rural

communities around the world.

A bit of Green’s history

We are a Brazilian company formed by a multidisciplinary

team led by engineer Eduardo Cauduro Mallmann, an Ashoka

fellow recognized by his experience with bioethanol as a tool

for social transformation.

By experiencing rural and urban contexts, Eduardo’s urge to

bridge this energy gap drove him to develop a versatile and

compact Ethanol Micro-Distillery, and later on to found Green

Social Bioethanol.

Energy Poverty around the World

People have no access to

electricity and its indispensable

uses:

– Vaccine preservation

– Lighting Services

– Irrigation Systems

1.3 Billion Cook with polluting cooking

fuels, causing:

– Respiratory Diseases

– Deforestation

– Oportunity Restriction

3 Billion

Green’s Solution:

Social Bioethanol

Social Bioethanol

A systemic view of the community context,

comprising all ends of the process:

- Sustainable Agriculture

- Rural Employment Generation

- Fair Income Distribution

- Food Security

- Social, Cultural and Digital Inclusion

- Energy Autonomy

- Social Logistics and Mobility

Empowering communities

through energy access!

The Heart of Social Bioethanol:

The Green Micro-Distillery

Green EMD

Equipment:

• Modular Equipment for small-

scale bioethanol production.

• Internationally patented

continuous system technology,

producing 95º GL standard

Bioethanol.

• Robust structure, low

maintenance cost.

• Versatile – efficient with a

variety of starch and sugar

feedstocks.

Process:

• Innovative cold enzyme and

yeast process (from 28ºC to

32ºC).

• Does not require high

temperature fermentation.

• Low energy consumption,

making possible an even

energy balance.

3 – Vinasse and Bagasse not accounted for. Both can be used as fertilizers and animal ration, thus reducing farming costs,

and surplus can be sold at farily interesting rates.

of Mines and Energy, and Electricity of Haiti.

Potential Benefits³

Some of Green’s Stories

Berbice, Guyana

• A project funded by the IDB to start

Guyana’s energy self-sufficiency process.

Currently, all fossil fuel is imported into the

country.

• Leading the project, Ministry of

Agriculture’s GuySuCo., opted for

Bioethanol for gasoline blending in order

to collect 10-25% of resources spent in

fuel for investment in the country.

• Bioethanol is not highly polluting, a key

factor for Guyana’s Government, which

strongly protects its green area and is

proud to sponsor green projects.

Ogbomosho, Nigeria

• Implementation of a Green EMD and

1000 CleanCook stoves. The project

aims at reducing indoor pollution (which

makes approx.. 1000 victims per day –

mostly women and children).

• A partnership with NABDA, a Ministry of

Science’s parastatal, and American

NGO Project Gaia to establish a pilot

project in order to better adapt the

technology to Nigeria’s context.

• Energy autonomy and health to

populations that need it most.

Kogi State, Nigeria

• After a meeting at the Nigeria – Brasil

Strategic Dialogue Mechanism Forum,

Kogi State represented by its Governor

Cap. Idris Wada, and Green have

signed a MoU to spread the technology

at commercial scale in Nigeria.

• Implementation of 21 Green EMD of

2000 LPD and 42000 CleanCook

stoves. Each one of the Local

Government Area will receive one EMD

in order to produce ethanol close to

each community.

• First State in Nigeria to adopt the

concept of Social Bioethanol for human

development.

An innovative solution,

replicable all around the globe.
