German Minister Approves Brazil Ethanol
By Mr Ethanol | April 30, 2008
Houston Chronicle:
Germany’s environment minister is convinced Brazil’s biofuel production does not harm the environment or cause high food prices as some critics maintain.
Sigmar Gabriel made his remarks after meeting with his Brazilian counterpart in the capital of Brasilia.
Brazilian Environment Minister Marina Silva says that only 1 percent of Brazil’s 300 million hectares (741 million acres) of arable land is used to plant sugarcane for the production of ethanol.
Silva told a news conference attended by the two officials Monday that Brazil will not allow sugarcane to be grown in the Amazon.
Gabriel says if Brazil continues to demonstrate no harm is being done, the European Union will have “no problem” continuing to import its ethanol.
