Inpasa sees corn ethanol production growing in importance in Brazil
In Brazil, the director of marketing and communication of Inpasa, Renato Teixeira, highlighted the growth of corn ethanol production in Brazil and the importance of the product in the future of global decarbonization. In an interview with CNN Agro News on last Thursday, he pointed out that Brazil can assume a leading position in the sector.
According to estimates by Unem (National Union of Corn Ethanol), Brazil should end the current crop year with 10 billion liters produced, a volume that represents a third of the national ethanol market. Only the United States has a higher production. “It’s a great time for the industry,” he said.
He said Brazil “still has a lot to grow in the sector.” “It’s a technology that’s already ready, used for 50 years in light vehicles. We have a great volume and possibility of expansion,” he added. The corn plantation aimed at ethanol production in the soybeans “opens a new path for Brazilian agriculture”, according to the expert.
