Luis,
I am very interested in the report also and if you find it useful, I can
publish it on our site for download by other interested parties. If you
also could write a short commentary to it and if it is legal to offer the
report to the public, I am very interested in offering it to a wider public
also.
As everybody are aware of, I find the Brazilian activities in the biofuel
field very important and also the knowledge base that is built during the
last 30+ years. Giving it as much publicity as possible and to learn from
them, must be of global interest. It is also an important recognition of
the experiences and support for all parties involved. I belive that a
marketing of Brazilian technology is not only good for Brazil, but also for
the global community and everybody that supports the wider use of biofuels.
The value of Brazil's experiences and knowledge cannot be over rated and if
I can be of help, it would make me happy.

Dear William and all.
The Brazilian ethanol output in 2003 was 14,000,000,000 liters =
3,703,000,000 US gallons
US production for the same year was 12,000,000,000 "
3,174,000,000 "
Other notes on Ethanol in Brazil:
* There are over 4 million cars that use 100% ethanol in their engines
* Ethanol-gasoline blends start at around 25%
* EMBRAER, the largest domestic airplanes manufacturer, will release in
about four months their model Ipanema that
will use ethanol aviation fuel, with the following consequences: 5% power
increase, increased climb rate, speed and altitude, lower engine maintenance
costs, lower emissions (of course), 66% lower fuel costs. (Source: EMBRAER
Press Release)
* In Brazil ethanol is produced from Blackstrap molasses as well as from
sugar cane juice
* The sugar cane productivity is 80 Metric Tons/Hectare/Year. This
agricultural yield is equivalent to some 6,500 liters ethanol/Hectare/year.
* The current area planted with cane for sugar and ethanol production is
around 4.9 million Hectares.
There is a recent report by Reuters on the present and future of the
Brazilian ethanol industry, which I will be happy to mail
upon request, as well as the EMBRAER release on their ethanol-powered
Ipanema.aircraft.
There is a lot to learn from the Brazilian huge ethanol experiment wich they
started more than 30 yeasr ago!.
May all of you have a very nice Sunday,
Luis R. Calzadilla
