Raízen selects ION’s TriplePoint for its strategic digital biofuel evolution

ION Commodities, has announced that Raízen Energia (Raízen), the world’s largest sugar exporter and cellulosic ethanol producer, has selected its TriplePoint solution to manage its extensive commodities portfolios of sugar, biofuels, fossil fuels and renewable certificates.
Raízen plays a significant role in the global bioenergy market, serving over 50 million end consumers annually with 35 billion litres of fuel sold - 11.3 million tons of sugar sold, and 3 billion litres of cane ethanol produced.
Raízen has made substantial investments in reshaping the future of clean, sustainable energy, aligning with the growing demand for cleaner fuels and enhancing the value extracted from crops and by-products.
In a market heavily impacted by volatile prices, shifting geopolitics, and frequent weather-borne supply chain disruptions, managing an intricate sugar, biofuel and fossil fuel blending supply chain is beset with complexities.
It necessitates a holistic approach that incorporates operational excellence, sustainability, regulatory compliance, and technological advancements to ensure long-term success. Raízen sought a solution capable of managing trading activities, assessing real-time market exposure, evaluating operational plans, and optimizing logistics within a unified system.
Raízen opted for TriplePoint, ION’s Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM) solution, due to its comprehensive, out-of-the-box, end-to-end capabilities and sophisticated risk engine.
“As global demand for biofuels continues to rise, we sought a strategic partner with a proven industry capacity to support and accelerate our business growth and fulfil our ambitions to progress into the next phase of our digital transformation. By working with ION to implement TriplePoint, we can optimise our trading operations and leverage consolidated insights across our key verticals in sugar and ethanol,” said Fábio Sant’Anna, director of trading operations, Raízen.
