3 General Facts about Brazil
- Total Area 8,511,996.3Km²
- (Latin Americas Largest Country)
- Federation 27 states
- Coastline 8,511Km
- Population 186 million
- GDP US million 1,458,596
- Worlds 10th Economy
- Estimated number based on January/November 2008

4Brazil has the largest set of tropical forests
in the world
- It accounts for more than half the total world
amount - About 460 Mha
- Governmental initiatives for the reduction of
deforestation - Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of
Deforestation in the Legal Amazon Rainforest
(PPCDAM) - National Plan on Climate Change
-
5Brazil is the largest OXYGEN supplier in the
World
6THE FUEL SHIFT BRAZIL AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE USE OF BIOFUEL
7Brazil 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
8Ethanol 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)
9The 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)
10Economy 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
