Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brazil is a major supplier of ethanol to the world market, the result of its natural advantage in producing sugarcane, productivity increases, and policies stimulating the supply of feedstock and of sugar-based ethanol. Global demand for ethanol and other biobased fuels is expected to grow in response to mandates for increased use of renewable fuels around the world. Brazil will be well positioned to fi ll the growing world demand for ethanol. However, Brazil's ability to supply the export market depends on its domestic ethanol use mandate, world sugar and oil prices, the currency exchange rate, and the infrastructure to move ethanol to ports. Brazil is challenged with sustaining production growth in the ethanol sector so as to meet increasing domestic demand and, at the same time, maintain its position as a major supplier of ethanol to world markets that are growing rapidly in response to their own ambitious targets for renewable energy use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable energy strategies require decision-makers in government, industry, academia and civil society alike to make choices among tradeoffs. Within the transport sector alone, ethanol has been shown to be the dominant solution among viable, low carbon options to date, yet questions remain over the economic and ecological impacts of this industry. In Brazil - the largest producer of sugarcane-based ethanol and a country with over three decades of ethanol development - we find a strong basis for evaluating the ethanol industry's role in a national economy. In the mid 1970's, Brazilian ethanol production received an important boost with the launch of the “Proálcool” program. The ethanol industry has subsequently evidenced flux until its consolidation in the period following 2000. Over the course of three decades, economic, institutional, technological and environmental determinants have factored in the success of Brazilian ethanol diffusion. In economic terms, price tradeoffs for ethanol vs. sugar and ethanol vs. gasoline played a role in scale-up of the biofuel together with balance of payment considerations. From an institutional standpoint, support for the Proálcool program, deregulation of the sugar-cane sector in the 1990's and fuel pump adaptations also factored. With respect to technology, the development of flex fuel cars, greater use of mechanized harvesting, and launch of domestic, co-generated, electrical power were key drivers. Finally, in environmental terms, challenges associated with pollution and public health in major cities as well as questions related to climate change gained visibility. In this paper, we analyze a set of input-output tables for the Brazilian economy from 1975 to 2006, taking the above factors into consideration. Deriving a series of indicators, such as multipliers and linkages, we study the evolution of the ethanol sector's role in the Brazilian economy and its relation to the productive structure of the country.
Download or read book Brazil s Ethanol Fuel Program written by Stavros Afionis and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Brazilian ethanol fuel program (Proalcool) is the world's largest biomass to energy program. The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of the Brazilian experience with ethanol as a substitute for gasoline and analyse its future prospects in both Brazil and the world market. Initiated in 1975 as a response to the first oil crisis and the resulting sharp increase in worldwide oil prices, the program has experienced prolonged periods of both splendour and gloom. Early success was followed by a period during which the program came under intense criticism on economic grounds due to low oil prices and high ethanol production costs. On the verge of collapsing, Proalcool was only lately revived due to a multiplicity of socioeconomic and environmental reasons. In recent years there has been renewed global interest in biofuels and a rapid expansion of biofuels markets. This book will therefore be of great help to policymakers, academics and business people curious to learn how was Brazil able to create the competitive assets that made Proalcool a success in terms of developing institutional and technological capabilities for using a renewable fuel in large scale.

Book excerpt: "Sweet Fuel: A Political and the Environmental History of Brazilian Ethanol traces the ethanol industry from its inception under a state institution in 1933 through the height of government intervention under the national program during the dictatorship to its rebirth with the launch of the flexible fuel car in 2003. It argues that private businessmen, politicians, and rural workers leveraged nationalist interests in a domestic fuel option into one of the most advanced alternative energy initiatives in the world. The industry's connection to the popular ethanol-fueled car connected the sugar-ethanol sector to Brazilian development goals of the twentieth century, but producers and government officials ignored the disproportionate environmental and costs associated with ethanol's expansion. Focused on Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, the largest ethanol-producing region in the country, the book examines how producers' continued dumping of vinasse, a byproduct of ethanol distillation, in local waterways connected the industry to extensive water pollution while exploitative labor laws drove the program's rapid expansion over the course of the twentieth century. Rural communities' efforts to hold producers accountable for these costs contrasts with national and international praise for the industry's potential climate benefits. Sweet Fuel provides a full analysis of ethanol's long-term development to reveal the historical complexities of one of today's premiere "green energy" industries"--

Book excerpt: Globally green business has witnessed tremendous growth and is seen as an alternative to fossil fuel and a solution to global climate change. Among the green businesses, biofuel industry has witnessed a tremendous growth globally. Brazil is the leading producer of ethanol at 27 billion sugarcane based liters in 2009. This report discusses the history of ethanol in Brazil by considering the role played by the government in making the ethanol program successful; the challenges and impact faced by sugarcane ethanol; and the future sustainability of sugar and ethanol. Ever since the spike in oil prices globally and the increasing concern about carbon emissions and global climate change, Brazil has pursued a policy of promoting international climate change commitments. The blossoming of the ethanol industry can be traced to a number of public policy initiatives. The initiatives taken by the Brazilian government to enhance the productivity of sugarcane cultivation through large investment in R&D is one crucial factor. The enhanced production of ethanol was accompanied by the initial development of a vehicle operating purely on ethanol in the 1980s, as well as the revolutionary introduction of Flexible-Fuel Vehicles (FFVs), which are capable of running on gasoline and ethanol or at any blending rates of both fuels. FFVs to a large extent have contributed to the development and sustenance of the biofuel industry in Brazil. However, many analysts have cast doubt about the sustainability of the Brazilian ethanol program as the government has recently suggested lowering the current ethanol-to-gasoline blending rate for fuel in Brazil from 25 to 20 percent. The system seems to be facing a need for changes through better planning and consideration for internal consumers. If ethanol prices continue to rise due to demand-supply unbalances, carbon emission targets could be impacted due to potential switching to gasoline. Studies have indicated that when ethanol prices are above the 70 percent ceiling price of gasoline, then consumers will switch to gasoline.
