Stradiotto, Nelson Ramos ; Zanoni, Maria Valnice Boldrin ; Fraga, Isabel Cristina Serta ; Borges, Paulo Paschoal

Resumo:

Biofuels constitute a viable alternative in relation to fuel derived from petrol and can be considered as important source of energy in the future. The participation of biofuel in the energetic matrix depends of a complex array of factors involving many production aspects (raw material and technology) and from the sustainability (social, economic and environmental), of this energy source. Since the start of Proalcool program the quality of ethanol was always connected with performance of engine working with hydrated alcohol and playing an important role in its sustainability economic. Afterwards, ethanol quality was considered a priority factor for environmental sustainability, mainly when it compared with other vehicles working with other fuels. More recently, ethanol quality plays a decisive role on the possibility of becoming a commodity in the international market. The validation of biofuels is markedly dependent of three basic factors: normalized specifications; official methods of analysis, and certified reference materials. The normalized specifications are a set of characteristics required to secure that the biofuel has the final destination as previously defined. The official methods are the tools necessary to construct a correct evaluation of the normalized specification of the fuel. The credited reference materials are tools utilized in the validation and official method control of fuel analysis.
