The document discusses Brazil's use of renewable fuels like biodiesel. It notes that over 45% of Brazil's energy comes from renewable sources, compared to around 12.9% globally. The Brazilian biodiesel program was introduced in 2005 and aims to diversify energy sources and reduce oil imports while promoting social development. Biodiesel production has increased from around 400,000 cubic meters in 2005 to a forecasted 2.5 million cubic meters in 2010. The industry faces issues around feedstock selection and costs that will need to be addressed for long term success.

4. The Brazilian Biodiesel Program
Introduced in 2005, it was based on:
,
• Energy matrix diversification with an eco‐friendly,
sustainable and renewable f fuel.
• Reduction of mineral oil and diesel imports

9. The Brazilian Biodiesel Sector
• The biodiesel program was introduced in 2005 and Brazil has
become, already, the world’s 5th largest producer.
• In 2010, B5 will be introduced, representing a 25% increase in the
demand.
• Extensive available areas, climate, strong and increasing domestic
Extensive available areas climate strong and increasing domestic
market favor the growth of the industry.
• Besides the traditional feedstock (Soybean, Sunflower, Cotton and
d h d lf d k( b fl d
animal fats/grease), there are many viable options of non‐edible
vegetable oil – Castor, Jatropha, Palm, Macaúba, Babaçu, etc.
• As the industry matures, Brazil will become more competitive in
the internacional market.

10. The Brazilian Biodiesel Sector (cont.)
• The industry has been working with, aproximately, 50% of its
capacity.
• The industry is most likely to face a consolidation process in the

near future.
• Verticalization or some sort of control of the feedstock will be
essential for survival.

21. Issues to be tackled by
the Biodiesel Industry

22. Issues to be tackled by the industry
• Worlwide involvement of society in the global warming
issue and in the biofuels discussion.
• The need to lower the cost of biodiesel production.
• Definition of the most suitable feedstock for each region.
Definition of the most suitable feedstock for each region.
• Genetically modified seeds will play a decisive role in
p
productivity of the non‐edible feedstock.
y
• The water footprint and NxO emissions will become
recurrent issues in biofuels discussions.
• Artificial comercial/specification barriers, such as the
land use restrictions and the different national
certifications so as to protect local industries, hindering
world supply of biodiesel.
