Loading ...The Union of Industry Sugar cane (Unica) reported this Monday that until the 1st day of June, the production of ethanol grew 6.15%, however the entity is reviewing the forecasts of the 2008/09 season because of the possibility of rain in the region of harvest in the coming months. On the other hand, sugar production was 10.77% lower in the same period last year.
Alcohol sales in the home market by the end of May (adding up anhydrous and hydrated) recorded an increase of 31.6% over the same period in 2007. In the case of hydrated ethanol, growth was 43.6%. Antonio de Padua Rodrigues, technical director of Unica, said that the product exporting in the months of April and May, totaled about 600 million litres, exceeding 59% in the volume board in the same period of last year’s harvest.

I really like the way Brazil has embraced the Ethanol propelled vehicle project.Brazil is setting a splendid example for the world.One country that is trying very hard to emulate Brazil is Malawi in Southern Africa.They recently imported a flexi vehicle which runs on either petrol or ethanol.

Clement,
Energy in Brazil is abundant. We produce energy from anything.
In Big cities we have car running with three types of fuel (Gasoline, Ethanol and natural gas).
I hope USA copy Brazil Ethanol method and stop corn to produce biofuel increasing the food price.
