Posted: 14 Aug 2010 11:57 AM PDT

Brazil has the potential to be a powerhouse in next-generation biofuels, just as it is with today’s version of fuel ethanol, according to an article published by the journal Science. In the article, scientists led by Chris Somerville at the University of California-Berkeley said Brazil could produce as much as 200 billion gallons of ethanol from sugarcane, if the technology can be refined to make fuel from the bagasse, the fibrous part of the cane, as well as the sugar. That would represent about 14% of the world fuel demand for transportation in 2006, the scientists said. By comparison, Brazil now produces about 6.5 billion gallons of ethanol a year from cane sugar, according to an article in the Des Moines Register.
