Vastly expanding sugarcane production in Brazil for conversion to ethanol could reduce current global CO 2 emissions by as much as 5.6%, according to a new study by an international team led by researchers from the University of Illinois. The team looked at three scenarios that would increase the sugarcane footprint in Brazil between 37.5
