Brazil (ethanol program)

Brazil’s ethanol program is a national effort to produce fuel from sugarcane, reducing reliance on imported oil and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The country has developed a strong infrastructure for producing, distributing, and using ethanol as a fuel alternative. Many vehicles are flexible-fuel, capable of running on gasoline, ethanol, or a mix of both. The program has made Brazil a global leader in biofuel technology, contributing to energy independence and environmental sustainability while supporting the agricultural sector. It exemplifies how renewable resources can be harnessed effectively for transportation needs.
