Sugarcane bioethanol — R&D for Productivity and Sustainability

BTL TECHNOLOGIES

Ushima, Ademar Hakuo;

Resumo:

The energy content of the main residues generated in the Brazilian ethanol and sugar mills, bagasse, trash and vinasse, are currently been wasted or used inefficiently and presents a huge economic potential for the production of fuels, power and products of higher value-added like chemicals products by using BTL technology – Biomass to Liquids. At the same time this technology can contribute to the solution of serious environmental problems, such as those caused by burnt trash in the field and contamination of the water table by vinasse dispersion in the soil. In addition, the employment of biomass as power and energy supply does not compete with food production as the first generation technology does, based on production of ethanol or biodiesel from sugar, starch and vegetable oils, and does not stimulate agricultural area expansion in the country.
