Analyzing The Brazilian Ethanol Industry

Business Wire:
As international oil prices soar, Brazil has been put at the forefront of a “biofuels” movement in which many countries view sugar cane, corn, soybeans, beets, cornstalks and native grasses as cleaner, money-saving substitutes for oil produced in politically unstable countries. Ethanol is higher in power-producing octane than most gasoline and can reduce tailpipe emissions of carbon monoxide and harmful particulates.
About a third of the fuel Brazilians use in their vehicles is ethanol, known in Brazil as “alcohol.” That compares with three percent in the United States. All gasoline sold in Brazil contains at least 26% ethanol, but motorists driving flexible-fuel cars have the option of filling up with pure ethanol, or E100, which currently is selling for about half the price of the blend.
The trend in Brazil has far-reaching implications for environmental policy, trade and economic development in poor countries that may have a bright future producing crops that can be easily turned into fuels.
There is a lot happening in the field of biofuels in Brazil, and to capture these, we bring you the complete guide to the Brazilian Ethanol Industry – Analyzing the Brazilian Ethanol Industry.
