Ethanol<br />
The success of <strong>Brazil</strong>’s ethanol program has been driven by two key factors:<br />
► R&D on genetic improvement of sugarcane<br />
► Technological innovation in the automotive industry<br />
<strong>Brazil</strong> is the world’s sixth-largest producer and fifth-largest market of automotive vehicles.<br />
It produced more than 3 million in 2007. The number of vehicles in circulation exceeds 26<br />
million. Today ethanol accounts for over 50% of the fuel use, including E25 gasoline<br />
mixture.<br />
