Abstract

The chapter argues that given the current situation, it is likely that the biofuel sector in Brazil will expand moderately. Much of the expansion will be through increased efficiency of existing operations. However, there is potential for much larger growth over time that will see the size of the sector quadruple or even more. It will depend heavily on the ability to master use of domestic natural resources and assure international demand. Government support for extension of biofuel will be limited and depend on its macroeconomic situation.
