通过对巴西30年酒精计划的评估，本文表明，适当的生物质生产公共政策可以带来直接的好处，如改善能源安全，节省外汇，创造当地就业机会，减少城市空气污染和避免二氧化碳排放。此外，该文件表明，巴西生产的乙醇面临着规模经济，技术进步和生产力的提高，不再依赖于补贴的竞争力。该文件还探讨了巴西促进其他生物燃料的潜力，即从植物油中获得的生物柴油，以及它们对可持续能源发展的影响。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Through the assessment of three decades of the Alcohol Program in Brazil, the paper shows that adequate public policies regarding biomass production can deliver direct benefits like energy security improvement, foreign exchange savings, and local employment generation, reduced urban air pollution and avoided CO(2) emissions. Moreover, the paper shows that Brazilian produced ethanol has faced economies of scale, technical progress and productivity gains and is no longer dependent on subsidies to be competitive. The paper also examines the potential in Brazil for fostering other biofuels, namely biodiesel obtained from vegetable oils, as well as their implications on sustainable energy development.
