Brazil and Biofuels for Autos: A Model for Other Nations

Michael McDermott, Marcio Cinelli, Denise J. Luethge, Philippe Byosiere

Abstract


This paper examines the evolution of
government policies in Brazil to encourage the switch from
petrol to ethanol, and the response of auto producers. It is
shown that the USA and other nations are encouraging the
use of ethanol as an energy source, and suggests that the
success of Brazil may be repeated in other key auto
markets.
