Sector Growth
The biomass sector has grown significantly in Brazil, and according to the National Union of Corn Ethanol (Unem), corn ethanol production has the potential to reach 8% of the national biodiesel supply in 2020 and 20% in 2028.
Currently, the state of Mato Grosso is the largest national producer of Corn Ethanol.
During the 19th Datagro International Conference on Sugar and Ethanol, the Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, declared that: “We rely more than ever on ethanol to lead this new period that is beginning for biofuels.”
It is worth noting that the Minister of MME is visiting China, along with President Jair Bolsonaro, trying to convince the Chinese to invest in the biofuels sector in Brazil.
Datagro Consulting estimates that sugarcane crushing in the 2019/2020 harvest in the Central-South will be 593.16 million tons, an increase of 3.5% compared to the 2018/2019 harvest.
