✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Brazil leads the world in ethanol production and ethanol use for fuel and the government has decided recently to implement a programme to blend biodiesel with diesel. In 2004, the government created the National Program for Production and Use of Biodiesel to reduce Brazil's dependence on imported diesel and to supply a fuel that has low environmental impact. The Program allows the use of 17 other oil sources for biodiesel production. This article describes the background to biodiesel and bioethanol production and use, details the Brazilian alcohol and biodiesel programmes, and examines the prospects for these biofuels and their potential effects on agriculture and oilseed crops.
