Sugarcane Bioenergy, Sugar and Ethanol

The surprising acceptance of ethanol as biofuel caused by the Brazilian plan changes in almost all carmakers operating in Brazil, such was the speed with which the new concept was consolidated. Brazil is the technology leader in bioenergy production, especially sugar and ethanol from sugarcane. This work brings together the latest technological advances of the sugarcane industry.
Happy reading!
