 Brazilian Think Tank: Public Policy
 Mission: To Promote Social Development in Brazil and Abroad
2. AGRICULTURE AND BIOFUEL IN BRAZIL
 Agriculture represents 35% of Brazil’s GDP
 Agriculture and Livestock production occupies 360 million hectares and
Biofuels represents 4.6 % of the total potential agricultural area:
Brazilian Ethanol Production: 23 billion liters/year
Brazilian Biodiesel Production: 2.8 billion liters/year
Electricity Generated by Biomass: 9.5 GW/year
