  4. Employment - 2007 Sugarcane and ethanol Extraction and oil products Source: Moraes et. al. with data from RAIS (2007) e PNAD (2007)

  5. WORKERS REMUNERATION EVOLUTION Farm workers - salary who had the biggest increases (%) (1999 – 2007) Rice Sugarcane Soy Coffee Corn Cassava Source: Oliveira, data from PNAD. Comparing the value of production per acreage, the value of sugar cane is significantly higher than that of other crops such as soybeans and corn.

  7. Average Productivity of Ethanol Production in Brazil Annual growth rate 2,7% Annual growth rate 1,6% Kiloliters per hectare Tonnes of sugarcane per hectare Sugarcane productivity Ethanol productivity Note: 07/08e estimate Source:UNICA.

  8. TECHNOLOGICAL EVOLUTION OF SUGARCANE INDUSTRY RESULTS OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGICAL EVOLUTION IN THE SUGAR & BIOETHANOL SECTOR – 2007 2009 15.000 98 92 87 320 1,6 2,0 Source: Denini

  9. Innovations as a result of biofuel investment Ethanol-powered plane Flex-fuel cars Sugarcane planter Ethanol mills Flex thermoelectric plant Seedling production Bioeletricity Sugarcane harvester Steam turbines

  10. The Brazilian experience 1979 to 1989: bus and truck with the ethanol engine in Brazil Nowadays: testing of new engines

  11. Benefits of cogeneration and distributed generation of eletricity • Experience and know how • Units are self-sufficient in energy • Reduced construction period • Construction in 24-30 months • Renewable and clean energy • Low environmental impact • Provide carbon credits • Synergy with hydro production pattern • Bioelectricity is produced during the dry season • Smaller projects and broader range of investors • Eliminate risks of delay and construction problems • Strengthen the national equipment industry and create jobs • Location close to main load centers Bioeletricity sugar ethanol Bagass sugarcane Sources: PSR, Cogen and UNICA

  12. Genetic improvement of sugarcane. Each year, close to six new varieties are released to the market and the total number of varieties is currently close to 500. Best techniques for seedling production of sugarcane

  14. Green Polyethylene Cycle From cradle to cradle Ethanol CH3-CH2OH Sugarcane Ethylene CH2=CH2 At the distillery, the sugar juice is fermented and distillated to produce ethanol The sugarcane crop metabolizes the CO2 to produce sucrose (85 t/ha; 14% sugars + 28% biomass) Through the dehydration, the ethanol is transformed in ethylene Very Favorable Ecoprofile Captures and Fixes 2,5 t CO2/t PE Recycling Carbon capture Green PE [CH2=CH2] The green polyethylene is 100% recyclable (Mechanical / Incineration) The green polyethylene is transformed in final products in the same unities already existents The ethylene is polymerized in polyethylene production unities (3 t PE/ha) Source: Brasken

  17. Brazilian Expertise • Mills Projects, design, production, sales, installation and maintenance. Turn-key mills and all machinery and equipments to biofuels production. • Research, development, technology innovation and totally services for biofuels. • Agriculture technology generation to production materials for renewable fuels. • Technologies for ethanol and biodiesel production. • CogenerationEnergy

  18. Ethanol production in the world with Brazilian technology New projects of distilleries anywhere in the world Products, Services and Brazilian Technology Available • Economical feasibility studies and analysis of area/soils and weather feasibility • Supply of sprouts and productive & resitant genetic diversity • Technology for plague control and combat

  19. Products, Services and Brazilian Technology Available Machinery and Equipment for cutting, loading and transportation • “Turn-Key” Plants • Sugar & Ethanol Plants • Ethanol Distilleries • Energy co-generation using bagass • Biodiesel Plants • Consulting and follow-up of all process of the • productive chain • Professional Qualification

  20. Why Biofuels? Environmental profits • Carbon sequestration • Lower level of emission in the consumption • Global warming Renewability • Short cycle of production • Man-controlled process Economic aspects • New component of demand • Impact in the trade balance • Monetization of least developed countries Social aspects • Jobs creation • Income deconcetration Political aspects • Democracy • Energy security
