OUTLINE
• Sustainable Solutions Today – Gasoline is the “alternative”
– Ethanol uses 1% of arable land
– +80% GHG emissions reduction
• Advanced Biomass Feedstock– Carbon absorbing machine
– High and growing yields
– Continuously improving technologies
• Food vs. Fuel debate?
– Unsustainable oil
– Abundant land
– “Productivity stupid”

Assumptions based on the following values: 1 ton of sugar cane produces 250 kg of bagasse e 204 kg de straw, 1 ton of cane (only bagasse) generates 85,6 KWh for exporting, 1 ton of cane (bagasse + straw) generates 199,9 KWh for exporting, the straw inferior calorific value = 1,7 bagasse inferior calorific value, capacity factor = 0,5.
