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 carbon-related costs of converting the land to sugarcane fields were included in the analysis.

billion project, has signed equipment contracts and licensing agreements with Siemens for four SFG-500 gasifiers that will convert Illinois coal into substitute natural gas. TEC is in advanced development, with the front end engineering and design (FEED) work required by the Illinois Clean Coal Portfolio Standard law under way.
