2G / Cellulosic Ethanol

Petron's next-generation (G2) program unlocks the cellulosic fraction of abundant, non-food agricultural residues through advanced pre-treatment and hydrolysis.

Designed to integrate directly with existing sugar mills and distilleries, it expands the feedstock base available to Petron's downstream portfolio, with near-zero competition with food supply chains.

Sweet sorghum is a primary EU focus: it grows on marginal land, qualifies under RED III advanced-biofuel criteria, and is well positioned as a locally grown SAF feedstock for European mandates.
