ICM Selected to Supply Technology for Atvos' First Co-Located Corn Ethanol Facility in Brazil

SÃO PAULO, Brazil--ICM, Inc. has signed an agreement with Atvos to provide its proprietary process technology package and engineering services for the company's first corn ethanol facility. The project will be integrated into Atvos' existing Santa Luzia industrial complex in Nova Alvorada do Sul, Mato Grosso do Sul, marking an important milestone in the company's strategy to diversify feedstocks while expanding renewable fuel production.

Under the agreement, ICM will supply Selective Milling Technology™, Base Tricanter System™, FST Next Gen™, and FOT Oil Recovery™ technologies. Together, these technologies will support year-round renewable fuel production while enabling high-value co-products, including distillers grains for animal nutrition and corn oil.

"We are excited to work with Atvos on this project," said Chris Mitchell, president and CEO of ICM. "This is our first co-located corn ethanol installation in Brazil, and we couldn't ask for a better partner. What makes this project so exciting is the opportunity to build on an already solid operation. By integrating corn ethanol into an existing sugarcane facility, we're creating more flexibility, making better use of existing infrastructure, and generating even more value from the plant. This project is a great example of what's possible when innovation is paired with a strong vision for growth."

Located in one of Brazil's premier agricultural regions, the Santa Luzia complex benefits from abundant grain production, reliable biomass availability, and a well-established bioenergy infrastructure. Integrating corn ethanol production into the existing sugarcane operation allows Atvos to leverage existing utilities, logistics and operational expertise while improving capital efficiency and expanding production throughout the year.

"This investment builds on the strengths of our Santa Luzia operation and expands the value we can create from our existing assets," said Alexandre Maganhato, vice president of technology at Atvos. "As we diversify into corn, we also have the opportunity to strengthen and expand our partnerships with sugarcane suppliers, contributing to social and regional development. This expansion supports our vision of a more diversified biorefinery that creates value beyond our operations."

When complete, the facility is expected to process approximately 642,000 metric tons of corn annually, producing 273 million liters of ethanol per year, along with 183,000 metric tons of DDGS and 13,000 metric tons of corn oil.
