Comparisons of life-cycle emissions from LUC phase for (a) sugar cane ethanol and (b) soybean biodiesel. Expansion in Brazil presents unique opportunities for both liquid fuel and electricity production. Even in the 100-year case, LUC emissions in CO and particulate matter are still higher than that of gasoline.

Use of Hydrous Ethanol in Brazil. Brazil, the largest and most populous country in South America, was importing 80% of its oil and 40% of its foreign exchange was used to pay for that imported oil. In 1975, General Ernesto Geisel, then-president of Brazil, ordered the country’s gasoline supply mixed with 10% ethanol.

While the proposed China regulation for 2020 is more stringent than the glide path, the 2017 Brazil regulation is less stringent. The overall ethanol volume blend share in the gasoline/ethanol fuel pool grows from 14% (10% by energy) in 2020 to 30% (22% energy basis) in 2030. 15 years and to facilitate comparison with regulations.…

On average, a 25% reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) emissions can be expected on a well-to-wheel (WTW) basis when replacing gasoline by light-duty vehicles (LDVs) running on compressed natural gas (CNG). The paper uses Brazil, India, Iran, Pakistan, the US and Europe as case studies.

This is particularly true in the electric power sector, where, in the US, natural gas sets the cost benchmark against which other clean power sources must compete to remove the marginal ton of CO 2. Natural gas use in the transportation sector is likely to increase, with the primary benefit being reduced oil dependence.
