“Many governments in the industrialized world are spending less in clean energy
research now than they were a few years ago”
(Editorial, Nature June 6th, 2012)
“What is missing are solutions that are cheap, scalable and politically viable”
Call for serious investment in renewable energy research Increased international cooperation
Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach to problems
Brazil as an example of a renewable energy matrix and the bioethanol program

The brazilian energy matrix is 47% renewable Bioethanol represents 20% of Brazil’s fuel matrix
15 million flex-fuel vehicles
Total brazilian bioethanol production for 2012/13 is projected at 23.9 billion L Total sugarcane production is estimated to be 571,47 million tons Co-generation (burning of the bagasse in boilers) contributes to 4.7% of our electricity

Models
Sugarcane Agro-industry
Research to expand the industrial model
Energy Crops and Green Technologies: a new Green Revolution
• High yield and fast growth crop • Able to produce under short growing seasons • Tolerant to periodic drought and low temperatures • Low nutrient inputs requirements • Relatively small energy inputs for growth and harvest • Ability to grow in sub-prime agricultural lands
Designing crops for energy production
New technologies for biomass processing, fuel production, engines • Low cost of energy production from biomass • Significantly positive energy balance • Significant GHG reduction • Low polution
Development of biorefinery systems • Zero-carbon emission biorefinery • Complete substitution of petro-chemicals with bio-based chemicals • Low water footprint, low polution, low emissions •Alcohol chemistry, sugar chemistry, oil chemistry to diversify the biomass industry with co-products
Sugarcane: the highest tonnage crop

Theoretical maximum: 380 tons/ha
Current average: 75 tons/ha

International bioenergy market, certification and policy implications
Competitive and sustainable production of bioenergy in South America Central America Africa 0.43 GHa @ 10kL/Ha.yr Potential 4,300 GL 2050: Available land for biofuels (Doornbosch and Steenblik, 2007)
New-comers insertion does not depend only on the
agricultural and economical aptitudes but on their
political institutions, and most important on their
capacity to implement public policies for the
development of biofuels. Internal public policy
legitimacy is a condition necessary for
competitiveness.
Public regulatory systems orient the private
certification systems. NGOs can intervene with
public regulation to assure broad sustainability
criteria for biofuels production.
Paulo Furquim de Azevedo, Bruno Perosa; FGV
Certification systems that will prevail (e.g.
Bonsucro) are those that present lower cost of
verification, biomass specific, make use of
ongoing public regulation, reduced costs of
compliance and verification and are
legitimated by social-economic interests
(NGOs).
