A HUB OF SKILLS IN THE BIODIESELPRODUCTION CHAIN IN BRAZIL

[email protected]


2/33

To set up a pool of highly professionalorganizations in the private and public sector to

organize the bio-diesel production chain , makingavailable to the market turn-key projects

(from soil to oil)

promoting sustained development and poverty

alleviation, creating opportunities and a new model forthe intensive and extensive use of the energy biomasspotential of Brazil.

goal


3/33

Take joint actions and improve efforts to work together

at all levels to improve access to reliable and affordableenergy services for sustainable development sufficient to

facilitate the achievement of the MDGs, including the

Goal of halving the proportion of people in poverty by

2015, and as a means to generate other important servicesthat mitigate poverty, bearing in mind that access to

energy facilitates the eradication of poverty

vision


4/33

In modern economies, large scale poverty imposes an enormouseconomic loss, wasting the talents and energies of hundreds ofmillions of people , diverted from socially productive activities thatcould create wealth for society to the struggle for mere survival.

The partnershipsshould be at theglobal level, at thecountry level with

nationalstakeholders andexternal partnersacting together,the private sector

and civil-societyinstitutionscollaborating tocreate conditionsthat emancipatepoor groups.

But the fundamental partnership, andultimately the only one that counts, is with thepoor themselves. They have the talents, theskills and the knowledge of their ownenvironment.

Innovation of BioVale Hub for industries


6/33

The main objective of the Hub is to bring capabilities of the variousstakeholders involved in the bio-diesel production chain, both in Brazil andabroad providing resources and diffusing knowledge to the linked firms.

The benefits provided through such linkages are of great significance becauseof the complimentary capabilities among the stakeholders.

Linkages with foreign organizations can be a great driver of dynamism andcompetitiveness to develop effectively and rapidly the Brazilian bio-diesel

program. The foreign firms benefit from linkages are reduced costs, localmarket and product intelligence and enhanced assets (UNCTAD 2001).

MINASINVESTs interventions, as a leading IPA (Investment promotion agency)are important to the extent that investors believe that an enterprising IPA canassist them in identifying and introducing reliable local firms andorganizations with whom the investors can partner.

The linkage envisages upgrading domestic enterprises; facilitating thetransfer of technology, knowledge and skills; improving business andmanagement practices; and facilitating access to finance and markets.

energy companies have not invested in buildingenough refinery capacity to meet the growing level ofworld demand. World oil production has gone up by 40%in the past 20 years while refinery capacity has only

gone up 15%.

the oil reserves discovered between 1950 and 1980 are being run down.

companies havenot been able tofind enough new

oil and gas fieldsto replace theexhausting ones.

Oil is being

pumped out ofthe ground threetimes faster thanit is beingreplaced by new

oil finds.

The growing gap



9/33

"There are not enough large-scale projects in the developmentpipeline right now to offset declining production in mature oil fields

and to meet global demand growth beyond 2007". (Chris Skrebowski,

the editor of the Petroleum Review )

The total amount ofenergy that the worldgets from oil and gas

will begin to declineafter 2010.

Will oil prices rise further?



10/33

The global demand for oil is increasing by just over 2%every year at present.

This increase in demand added to the gap being createdby the declining supply, implies new energy sources eachyear equivalent to 4-5 per cent of the world's current oilproduction:

around 1,800 million barrels of oil a year.

In 2015, when world gas output ceases to increase to

meet the its growing demand , the new energy sourceswould have to increase the annual rate at which they grew

by another 900 million barrels.

What alternative sources to fill the gap?



11/33

The only truly sustainable energy sources are those basedon the flow of energy from the sun: solar, hydro, wind,wave, biomass.

These flows are very large in comparison with humankind'suse of energy.

Renewable sources can therefore meet all the world'senergy needs, both now and in the future.

The amount of energy supplied by renewable sourcescould be 120 times its present level .

What alternative sources to fill the gap?

The problem is to develop these sources

quickly enough to fill the gap as it opens up.Source: GTZ/WorldWatch Institute


12/33

The world is on the verge ofunprecedented growth in theproduction and use of biofuels , by

virtue of:

Rising oil prices, national securityconcerns, the desire to increase farm

incomes, and a host of new andimproved technologies .

The two most prevalent biofuels areethanol and biodiesel.

World production of ethanol morethan doubled between 2000 and 2005,while production of biodiesel

quadrupled.

Biofuels: a Booming Industry


13/33

Biofuel productionhas becomesubstantially more

efficient over the last25 years as Brazil andthe United Stateshave scaled up theirindustries.

Such incrementalgains are likely tocontinue for years tocome.

New Technologies, New Gains

However, the greatest potential for biofuels lies in thedevelopment of new technologies that will significantlyexpand the range of biomass feedstock, increase

conversion efficiencies, and lower production costs.


14/33

One of the main benefits of biofuels is their potential to increasefarm incomes and strengthen rural economies. The World Bankreports that biofuel industries require about 100 times more workersper unit of energy produced than the fossil fuel industry.

In 2004, the Brazilian sugarcane sector was responsible for 1 millionjobs (direct)/4 million (indirect) corresponding to the production of350 million tonnes of cane (UNICA, 2003 and Goldemberg, 2003).

The dispersed nature of agriculture makes it unlikely that biofuelproduction will become as centralized as the oil industry.

In the focused region of the project (Jequitinhonha & Mucuri Valleys)

the access to modern forms of energy is limited or absent. Anorchastrated pool of competences involved in the biodieselproduction chain can help provide income and clean, accessibleenergy that is vital for rural development and poverty alleviation.

Biofuels: A New Future for Rural Communities


15/33

In general, biofuels have a solidly positive GHG balance. Energy cropshave the potential to reduce GHG emissions by more than 100 percent(relative to petroleum fuels) because such crops can also sequester carbon

in the soil as they grow.

Large deforested areas could be recovered by crops producingvegetable oils in order to produce biofuels.

Even with subsidies, the economic savings with biofuels from avoided oilimports are considerable: between 1975 and 1987, ethanol saved Brazil$10.4 billion in foreign exchange while costing the government $9 billionin subsidies. This investment paid off even more in subsequent years:studies show that from 19762004, Brazils ethanol production substitutedfor oil imports worth $60.7 billionor as much as $121.3 billion includingthe avoided interest that would have been paid on foreign.

Further benefits


16/33

Renewable energy will have to supply a greater share of the world'senergy requirements.

It is estimated that the market for clean energy technologies could

be worth $1.9 trillion by 2020. The financial sector has a key role toplay in developing and promoting this market.

In the next 25 years, the world will consume all that has been

produced in fossil oils so far.

The worlds dramatic increment for fuels should be supplied by bio-fuels.

In the future, In the short run, ETHANOL and BIO-DIESEL are themain bio-fuels.

Renewable energy is both a solution and a businessopportunity; BUSINESS AS AN AGENT OF WORLD BENEFIT

Biodiesel - a Mutual Profitable Partnership

As oil prices and environmental concerns have risen in the past fewyears, investment in new biofuel facilities has mushroomed in Brazil.

The Brazilian National Program for use and production wasincorporated in the Brazilian energy matrix by Law nr 11.097/2005 .

Large trans-national corporations, as ADM, have already started

investing in biodiesel projects in Brazil

The crop area required to produce the blend of initial mandatory2% of biodiesel will be 1.5 million hectares, equivalent to only 1% of

the total acreage under crops or available for agriculture throughoutBrazil (150 million hectares).

UTILIZATION OF ETHANOL IN VEHICLES IN BRAZIL:Automobiles, light commercials, motor-cycles and aircrafts

Flexible Fuel light vehicles: reached 37% of internal market sales in2005


19/33

Brazil has ideal conditions for becoming a major world producer ofbiodiesel. It has a vast amount of arable land, part of which is notsuitable for food crops but has the right soil and climate forgrowing a range of oilseeds.

Biodiesel will make Brazil a global benchmark in the use ofrenewable fuels.It first won this position in the 1970s with theintroduction of ethanol made from sugarcane to power automotivevehicles.

The National Alcohol Program, Prolcool, was the largest fossilfuel substitution program in the world automotive market. It isstill considered a global example of excellence, and Brazil remainsthe largest producer and consumer of fuel alcohol in the world.

The experience Brazil has accumulated through the Prolcoolserves as a strong foundation for implementing the biodieselprogram and maximizing the nations competitiveness in arelatively short period.

Brazils export potential

With the launch of commercial production, Brazilbecomes a potential exporter of biodiesel.

The EU aims to ensure that 2% of all the fuel consumedin the region is renewable by 2005, but it has limitedacreage available for growing rapeseed, the mainfeedstock produced in Europe, and industrial capacity isinsufficient to meet the stipulated demand.

Despite these constraints, the proportion of renewablefuels is set to reach 5.75% by 2010 according to EUDirective 30, ratified by the European Parliament in May2003.

Given the limitations for production growth in Europe,Brazilian biodiesel enjoys an unprecedented opportunityto build market share in the continent Europe.

introducing entrepreneurial changes, innovation, paradigm shifts, and

openness for new alternatives and investments.


26/33

The State program for bio-fuels

The program, set forth in Law no. 15.976/2006 has the following goals:

Research and technology development;

Technology transfer to the private sector;Job posts creating and improvement of income distribution;Reduction of fossil diesel imports;Reduction of gas pollution emission;Development of Feed-stock production

Targets up to 2007/2008 :

250.000 hectares crop plantation for production of B2 (blend 2% ),

reaching 625.000 he for production of B5 in 2013;

Direct income generation to 100.000 families, corresponding to about500.000 job posts up to 2007.


27/33

The yields of currently used biofuel feedstock vary widely. Jatrophaseeds have proven advantageous in several spheres.

Perennial crops of Jatropha Curcas will be used to protect lands that arevulnerable to erosion and to restore lands degraded by grazing.

Jatropha curcas: the feedstock


28/33

Jatropha is identified under the physical-chemical platform ofbiomass energy conversion route. It is a drought-resistantperennial, living up to 50 years and growing on marginal soils(HENNING, 1996).

The remote rural communities of the Brazilian semi-arid in droughtregions will be able to address their energy needs using theJatropha resource.

TheJatropha Curcas was especially selected because the plant isnot an invasive species (GBITZ ET AL., 1999) and permits thegrowth of other plants in its vicinity, so it does not negativelyaffect the ecosystem.

Jatropha curcas: the feedstock

The results of the researches developed by EPAMIG, the StateAgriculture R&D entity, in the 80and the preliminary current

( 2004/2006) results attest the potentiality of the jatropha curcas

cultivation in the semi-arid region


29/33

Development model

The development model is based on the workingrelationship between the community benefiting

from the BIO-VALE project, a local technical NGO,an enterprising development agency , a foreigndevelopment agency, Government stakeholdersand a corporation.

Each entity has its respective and important rolesthat complement, harmonize and support oneanother leading to the ultimate success and

sustainability of the project.

The private sector can play an important roletowards furthering development, for developmentcannot occur without conditions that are amenable tothe conduct of business. (United Nations)


30/33

MINASINVEST, a not-for profit investment agency, will be primarily incharge of the social-economic factors coordinating the efforts among

the various stakeholders, which includes:enhancing logistics, building market information systems.

Identifying and coordinating the best partners;

Developing policies and strategies to improve competitiveness;

Strengthening the producers negotiating position ;

Providing well-researched analyses;

Government and institutional relationships involved in the project.

Development model: Investment agency


31/33

The local community possesses direct responsibility towards the day-today running of the biofuel project . Particular emphasis is given onthe socio-economic empowerment of women, thus women groups willbe specially utilized to manage the project.

The role of the community should therefore be:

Provision of land for Jatropha plantation and site for theestablishment of the oil extraction unit. Responsibility for the day-to-day management of plantation,including: cultivation and harvesting. Commitment of human resources for project development such as

unskilled labor (to handle farmlands), access to skilled labor.

In order to help the community in their quest towards sustainabledevelopment, it is very important that they should be the mainrecipient of all benefits accrued from the project.
