9In general, biofuels have a solidly positive GHG balance. Energy crops
have the potential to reduce GHG emissions by more than 100 percent
(relative to petroleum fuels) because such crops can also sequester carbon
in the soil as they grow.
9Even with subsidies, the economic savings with biofuels from avoided oil
imports are considerable: between 1975 and 1987, ethanol saved Brazil
$10.4 billion in foreign exchange while costing the government $9 billion
in subsidies. This investment paid off even more in subsequent years:
studies show that from 1976–2004, Brazil’s ethanol production substituted
for oil imports worth $60.7 billion—or as much as $121.3 billion including
the avoided interest that would have been paid on foreign.
RET OPPORTUNITIES
¾ Renewable energy will have to supply a greater share of the world's
energy requirements.
¾ In the next 25 years, the world will consume all that has been
produced in fossil oils so far.
¾ In the future, In the short run, ETHANOL and BIO-DIESEL are the
main bio-fuels.
¾As oil prices and environmental concerns have risen in the past few
years, investment in new biofuel facilities has mushroomed in Brazil.
