THE FUEL SHIFT BRAZIL AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE USE OF BIOFUEL
7
Brazil A pioneer in the introduction of a
biofuel

• Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol)
• Raw material Sugarcane
• Proálcool
• - Early 1970s
• - The Worlds largest Renewable Fuel Utilization
  Program
• - It enabled an additional 25 of ethanol in
  gasoline, allowing the removal of plumber and
  providing great benefits to the environment and
  the society
• - Target to export 4.75 billion liters of
  ethanol, considering Japan as the main exporting
  market

Ethanol in Brazil from 2007 to 2010

• 2007
• Number of industrial plants 370
• Production 21.5 billion liters
• Cultivated area for ethanol production 3.75
  million hectares (0.44 of total Brazilian area)
• Ethanol exported by Brazil in 2007 3.5 billion
  liters

• 2010
• Investments of nearly US 7 billion in 61 new
  plants
• Added production of 7 billion liters of ethanol
• Cultivated area expansion for both sugar and
  ethanol production 2 million hectares
• Expansion of exporting infra-structure to 8
  billion liters in exports (Petrobras)

9
The Flex Car- a new domestic ethanol demand

• Flex-Fuel Engine allows the use of Ethanol or
  Gasoline in any concentration of these fuels (0
  to 100)
• In 2007, Flex Fuel vehicle sales represented 87
  of total light vehicles sales in Brazil
• Current fleet of Flex Fuel vehicles 5 million
  vehicles
• Current Manufactures VW, GM, Ford, Fiat,
  Renault, Peugeot, Citroen, Honda and Toyota
  (almost 100 different models available)

Economy with the Use of Ethanol in Brazil
This curve shows how much gasoline would be
necessary to meet the fuel demand for light
vehicles supposing the non-existence of the
Brazilian Ethanol Program
IN THIS PERIOD, THE USAGE OF ETHANOL FUEL IN
BRAZIL HAS PREVENTED THE EMISSON OF 800 MILLION
TONS OF CO2
