Brazil: a global leader in biofuel innovation

摘要

Brazil is one of the world's largest producers of sugarcane, biofuels, and flex-fuel cars, all of which are predicted to experience growing demand in the rest of the world in coming years. 90% of new cars made in brazil are flex-fuel which are highly efficient and run on both gasoline and fuel ethanol. Brazil expects to double its output of fuel ethanol by 2020 to meet the growing demand from both domestic and export markets. Novozymes' studies indicate that by using sugarcane bagasse and straw, the volume of ethanol can be doubled using the same amount of land.
