What Is Bioethanol Plant ?
The start of ethanol fuel development
in Brazil is related to the oil shortage in Brazilian territory and the global
oil crisis. Brazil had few oil wells in the 1970s and was extremely vulnerable
to international oil crises. In 1973, during the first oil crisis, prices rose
by 400%, which had a major impact on the Brazilian economy and the Brazilian
government began looking for alternatives to reduce its dependence on oil. At
that time, anhydrous ethanol produced from sugar cane had already been mixed
with gasoline at a rate of 5% since 1931. In 1975, the government developed
Proalcool, a Brazilian ethanol program.
Proalcool has developed bioethanol
Plant in many economic sectors. Fuel to replace gasoline [2]. The program
has significant government funding to develop feedstock and industry. In the
second oil crisis in 1979, Brazil introduced its first ethanol-fueled
powertrain. At the time, Brazil had
active intervention in prices and ethanol production, but sugar and ethanol
production were determined. The price of ethanol paid to producers was a
function of sugar prices. The price of ethanol and gasoline was set by the
government at the fuel authority. Therefore, when the price of ethanol is lower
than that of gasoline, we decided to choose an ethanol-driven automobile
instead of gasoline.
