In Vietnam, VietnamNetGlobal reported that Vietnam Brazilian experts said that Vietnam has an abundance of raw materials for biofuel production.
In a seminar on the role of ethanol in sustainable mobility, officials and business representatives from Brazil and Vietnam discussed how dialogue and cooperation can accelerate the energy transition in countries, especially bioenergy and agroindustry.
“This initiative is proof of Brazil’s willingness to further cooperate with Vietnam and ASEAN in shaping a more prosperous and sustainable future for our countries,” said Mauro Vieira, Brazilian foreign minister who was on an official visit to Vietnam.
Through fermentation processes, common sugar-based feedstocks such as corn, sugarcane and cassava can be converted into ethanol to be used as biofuel for engines, according to the report.
“Based on the Brazilian experience, we can contribute to promoting the ethanol agenda in Vietnam, sharing solutions for the development of the agro-industry for biofuel production, like our partnership with other countries in Asia,” said Flávio Castellari, executive director of the Brazilian Ethanol Cluster (APLA).
