Raízen Energia SA
In 2012, after reviewing a range of technology options, Raízen signed a joint development agreement to work with Iogen on its strategy for cellulosic ethanol production in Brazil. In 2013, Raízen announced its commitment to a commercial facility using Iogen technology. In 2014, Raízen completed construction of the first facility using Iogen technology, and produced cellulosic ethanol for sale in local markets. An official opening of the facility was held in 2015. Raízen officials have communicated plans to expand cellulosic ethanol capacity in Brazil to 8 facilities.

Raízen is the world's largest sugarcane crusher and one of the leading sugar and ethanol producers in Brazil. Raízen was established in 2011 as a joint venture between global oil major Royal Dutch Shell plc and Brazilian energy and infrastructure conglomerate Cosan. Currently, the company has over 40,000 employees, produces 2 billion liters of ethanol from sugarcane per year from a network of 24 sugarcane mills in Brazil, maintains the largest Brazilian market share in fuels retailing.

The Royal Dutch/Shell Group
In 2002, after a worldwide search for the leading options in biofuels, Royal Dutch/Shell Group selected Iogen as a development partner.  Shell and Iogen conducted an extensive cooperation and commercialization program from 2002 to 2012.  In 2012, Shell stopped its North American development of cellulosic biofuels and transferred its interests in the technology to Raízen, its joint venture in Brazil.
 
Shell is one of the world's largest integrated oil companies, and is committed to expanding its sustainable development practices.

Volkswagen AG
In 2007, recognizing that clean fuels could be a cost effective option to reduce petroleum dependence in transportation fuels, especially relative to many emerging vehicle efficiency technologies, Volkswagen signed a partnership agreement with Iogen. At that time, Volkswagen invested $10M in Iogen and became a minority stakeholder. The two companies conducted a study to assess the economic feasibility of producing cellulosic ethanol in Germany. Today, the companies continue to cooperate on ways cellulosic biofuels can benefit the automotive industry.

The Volkswagen Group with its headquarters in Wolfsburg, is one of the world's leading vehicle manufacturers and the largest car producer in Europe.
