The industrial complex will be located on the Meta Department of Colombia, an area usually used for cattle ranches and is now converted for agricultural purposes. Current plantation includes that of sugarcane.

The contract between Bioenergy and Isolux Corsan is worth USD 140 million and will start with the engineering works as soon as possible. Isolux Corsan was awarded the contract based on a tender process. By far, this is the first biofuel project for the company outside of Europe.

According to reliable sources, Colombia has very good potential to become a major exporter of ethanol in the global market. In a report conducted and submitted by the United States Department of Agriculture, it was stated that Colombia’s sugarcane ethanol industry is one of the most developed in the region. Given the right expansion projects, Colombia has the capacity to increase its daily ethanol production from 277,000 gallons in 2007 to as much as 1 million gallons in 2010. However, the U.S. Department of Agriculture thinks that Colombia is unlikely to export ethanol since current local production is not enough to meet the national demand.
