As international oil prices soar, Brazil has been put at the forefront of a “biofuels” movement in which many countries view sugar cane, corn, soybeans, beets, cornstalks and native grasses as cleaner, money-saving substitutes for oil produced in politically unstable countries. Ethanol is higher in power-producing octane than most gasoline and can reduce tailpipe emissions of carbon monoxide and harmful particulates.
About a third of the fuel Brazilians use in their vehicles is ethanol, known in Brazil as "alcohol." That compares with three percent in the United States. All gasoline sold in Brazil contains at least 26% ethanol, but motorists driving flexible-fuel cars have the option of filling up with pure ethanol, or E100, which currently is selling for about half the price of the blend.
The trend in Brazil has far-reaching implications for environmental policy, trade and economic development in poor countries that may have a bright future producing crops that can be easily turned into fuels.

There is a lot happening in the field of biofuels in Brazil, and to capture these, Aruvian Research brings you the complete guide to the Brazilian Biodiesel Industry - Analyzing the Brazilian Biodiesel Industry.
Divided into five sections, Aruvian's report then moves on to Section Two, which is dedicated to a thorough analysis of the Brazilian Biofuels Industry. Information and research included in this section ranges from the optimism presiding over biofuels in Brazil, an overview of the industry, issues the industry is dealing with, questions about price sustainability, risks involved in biofuel investment, and much more.
Moving ahead, Section 3 is completely dedicated to analyzing the Brazilian biodiesel industry. The section covers information pertaining to the history of the markets, the various regulations governing these markets, production statistics, industry potential, infrastructure requirements and present infrastructure, end use technologies, market structure, the various requirements for production of biodiesel, area availability, analysis of the by-products markets, and so much more. Role of government institution and the private sector in the biodiesel market is looked upon as well.
Of particular interest, is the analysis of the various types of vegetable oils used in the production of biodiesels and their potential and yield.
Section 4 looks at the major industry players such as Copersucar, COSAN, Petrobras, and others, drawing to a conclusion this in-depth research report.
