Simon,
Quoting the PB-Mutsui PR statement:
"In the study we hope to see whether it will be possible to reduce the transportation costs of the ethanol produced in central Brazil to attend to the foreign market as ethanol is regarded as one of the most promising renewables energies and its demand is expected to increase rapidly in the world."
I'm a little suprised by this. Given literature around saying that this is not really feasible. Unless it's going to be pipelined as a mixed-blend of (fuel/ethanol)...
Even then it will require monitoring.
Worth watching... owing to the fact its bucking the trend.
I mean the pipeline issue was one of the reasons for DuPont-BP's "biobutanol" development...
I suspect this is merely going to be a joint PB-Mitsui feasibility study.
