1925: First experiments with ethanol/gasoline blends1975: Ethanol program started after the 1st oil crisis1989: Leaded Gasoline forbiden.1993: E-20 to E-25 mandatory in all the country (33,000 gas stations)2003: Flex Fuel engines2006: 80% of new vehicles are Flex (2.5 million/year)615 million ton of CO2 avoided emissions, so far

If biodiesel plant is integrated with an ethanol plant, operatingcosts will be less than 2 ¢/L.
No acidity limits in the feedstocks
CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONSBrazil is open to share experiences in biofuelsand offers good opportunity for internationalcolaborations and investments in this field.Both ethanol and biodiesel production willsignificantly increase in the next years. There’s agricultural land to support this increasing.Integration between ethanol and biodiesel plantsis strongly competitive.Biodiesel process is being adapted to tropical feedstcoks (larger acidity) with higher yields andlower operating costs.
