Brazil's Sustainable Biofuel Economy: A Remarkable Achievement
Brazil stands out as the world's first sustainable biofuels economy and the leader in the biofuel industry. This remarkable achievement is partly thanks to favorable circumstances, yet it is still an impressive feat. It's surprising that this isn't common knowledge.
Did you know that over 50% of all cars fuels used in Brazil are produced from sugarcane-derived bio-ethanol? Although this biofuel economy may not be globally scalable, it serves as an excellent example of how new industries and technologies can emerge out of necessity when markets are shielded from direct overseas competition. In this case, imported fuel is too expensive for the Brazilian market.
For those interested in learning more about the technology behind Brazil's biofuel industry, the BBC documentary "The World in 2050" is an excellent resource. It offers insight into the innovative technologies that have made Brazil a leader in the field.
