1. THE FLEX FUEL REVOLUTION (2003):
With flex engines (powered by ethanol and gasoline), the productive sector had an expansion moment: new
production units and expansion of the cultivation area.
Controlled burning - externalities
Action by the São Paulo Public Ministry against the use of burning due to the health of workers who worked in
manual cutting, as well as the consequences for nearby populations (particulate material), began to generate a
series of legal actions against the productive sector.
The State Government began to discuss the need to gradually eliminate the burning
Change in the profile of the productive sector (family businesses => large groups) also contributed to the elimination
of burning in the central south region
Context - elimanation of the burning of the straw
2. State Law No. 11,241/02 (State Decree No. 47,700/03), establishes the following deadlines for the definitive
elimination of straw burning:
Mechanized areas: 2021
Non-mechanicable areas: 2031
2007 – Signing of the Agro-environmental Protocol for the Sugar and Alcohol Sector: voluntary agreement signed
with the Government of the State of São Paulo, providing for:
Anticipating deadlines for eliminating the use of fire;
Protection of riparian forests, recovery of springs and other conservation measures.
Regulation - elimanation of the burning of the straw
3. Deadlines defined in the Protocol:
Mills:
Mechanized areas: 2021 to 2014;
Non-mechanized areas: 2031 for 2017.
Farmers:
Mechanized areas greater than 150 hectares: 2021 to 2014;
Mechanized areas of less than 150 hectares: 2021 to 2017;
Non-mechanized areas of less than 150 hectares: 2021 to 2017.
Challenges for the sector - obtaining financing for the acquisition of equipment; lack of skilled labor;
phytosanitary measures.
Green Protocol - elimanation of the burning of the straw
6. Green Protocol - elimanation of the burning of the straw
GHG emissions avoided
are equivalent to the
emission of 210
thousand buses
circulating during a year
Signatories of the Agro-environmental Protocol are responsible for approximately 95% of São Paulo's
sugarcane production and 47% of national ethanol production.
