ROUTES FOR CELLULOSIC ETHANOL IN BRAZIL

Buckeridge, Marcos Silveira; Santos, Wanderley Dantas dos; Souza, Amanda Pereira de;

Resumo:

The climatic changes and the elevation in the costs of the petroleum together with the strategic needs of production of energy have been motivating an unprecedented run towards production of alternative fuels, preferentially from renewable sources. In this scenario, Brazil stands out due to the pioneer use of the ethanol obtained from the sugarcane as fuel since the 1970s. Besides the tradition, highly selected varieties, sophisticated industrial processes, climate and readiness of agricultural lands guarantee Brazil a comfortable leadership in the production of sustainable ethanol. However, to preserve that position in the currently competitive market, Brazil needs to maintain compatible investments in the generation of new technologies and formation of competences. Nowadays, the conversion of lignocellulose or plant biomass into fermented sugars for ethanol production has been considered as a promising alternative to increase the production of necessary ethanol to meet the world demand.
