Ethanol May Trade Globally Like Oil If Duties End, Brazil Says

Bloomberg:
Elimination of subsidies and duties may help ethanol become a globally traded energy source like crude oil, Antonio de Aguiar Patriota, Brazil’s ambassador to the U.S., said today in Chicago.

The U.S. imposes a 54-cent-a-gallon tariff on imports of biofuels, including ethanol from Brazil, the largest producer of the alternative fuel from sugar cane. Ethanol is made mainly from corn in the U.S.

As the Doha round of free trade talks progresses, “we can only be in favor of eliminating duties and to the extent possible reducing subsidies to create a freer environment for trade,” Patriota said after a speech hosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

“Oil is traded worldwide without these trade obstacles,” he said. “This is what we’d like to see in the future, ethanol becoming a true commodity.”
