Investopedia: Cosan Could Look A Little Sweeter In 2012


Ethanol has a dicey reputation with investors. The petroleum alternative has enticed more than a few true-believing green investors into thinking it's somehow more than a commodity, before dashing their dreams and denting their net worth. Brazil's reputation is scarcely better, as investors have had to ride the ups and downs of a promising, but very volatile, market for years.

The company operates 24 mills, two refineries and two ports in Brazil and currently has a little over 60 million tonnes of crush capacity. In fact, about 5% of the world's ethanol comes out of Cosan facilities.
