Importing sugar - based ethanol from Brazil will create a market for that product in the U.S. — and that will produce a sweet new market for Florida sugarcane growers, too.

Similarly emissions factors would be developed for wood chips, cellulosic ethanol, methanol, sugar cane and biodiesel.

This received a big boost in Brazil, when companies with cane - based ethanol distilleries realized that burning bagasse, the fibrous material left after the sugar syrup is extracted, could simultaneously produce heat for fermentation and generate electricity that they could sell to the local utility.

Fast - growing sugarcane on highly fertile land in Brazil, for example, converts only around 0.5 percent of incoming solar radiation into sugar, and only around 0.2 percent ultimately into ethanol.

A key advantage of using yeast for cellulosic ethanol production is their ability to work over a broad temperature (< 44oC) and pH (3.0 — 8.0) range to produce large amounts of sugar.

Technological challenges remain, such as the need for more efficient enzymes for saccharification, new microbes that can ferment multiple sugars, better integration of process steps, and improved methods for recovery of dilute ethanol.

He described various methods for growing algae in large scale and converting its fats to biodiesel and its sugars to ethanol.

The next-most critical barrier to commercialization of cellulosic ethanol is the need for organisms capable of efficient fermentation of holocellulose, which contains up to 40 % C5 sugars.

This organism, discovered several years ago in Massachusetts, is a natural consolidated bioprocessor, expresses requisite enzymes for the extraction of fermentable sugars from biomass, and co-ferments all the C5 and C6 sugars into ethanol.

Jose Goldemberg, former Minister of the Environment, Brazil, who was present at the beginning of the push for sugar cane ethanol in that country.

Intensification of Brazil's sugarcane industry in response to rising demand for sugar - based ethanol could have impacts on the regional climate reports a new study by researchers from Arizona State University,...

Although human beings have been producing ethanol, grain alcohol, from sugar and starch for millennia, it is only in recent years that the genetic engineering of biocatalysts has made possible such production from the hemicellulose and cellulose that constitute the substantial majority of the material in most plants.

But the models fail to account for dynamic reactions to a corn crop reduction (in this case a simple and very cost efficient response would be to end corn ethanol subsidies, thus redirecting corn to food rather than fuel, ending an inefficient industry and encouraging ethanol industries in tropical nations using sugar cane, which makes a lot more sense than corn ethanol).

The success of biofuels in Brazil is largely a result of the high productivity of sugar cane and the suitability of the feedstock for efficient conversion to ethanol.

In summary, there is sufficient land zoned for sugar cane for Brazil to produce approximately 4 — 5 times as much ethanol than is produced today (˜6.2 billion gallons in 2008).
