« Venezuela’s plans for biofuel are they bananas? | Main | Panda to convert corn to bioethanol and use cattle waste for fuel »
Bioethanol has been a mainstay of Brazil's fuel economy for some time, now the country plans to increase the amount of ethanol in gasoline from 20% to 23% soaking up nearly 310m litres from 20 November. This follows a request from the sugar alcohol sector, which wanted the mixture to be increased after a bumper crop of sugar cane.
