Brazil and the US Biofuels CooperationBrazil and the US governments work together in bioenergy cooperation since 2003. 

In biofuels, both countries are the main producers and market that  developed a huge ethanol economy which contributes for decarbonization of transport sector.

SED Main Objectives (Biofuels – Area 3)The Parties agreed on the role of the Dialogue in enhancing theU.S.‐Brazil partnership to leverage their countries collective public andprivate sector resources toward the advancement of biofuels.

The Parties opened discussions with a view to:

1. Biofuels Sustainability Analyses;

2. Advanced Biofuels R&D Cooperation;

3. Cooperation in Third‐Party Countries;

4. Regular exchange of information on biofuels production and market.

Brazil: Ethanol Market Perspectives

• Between a third and a half of fuels demand for light vehicles in Brazil is ethanol (anhydrous or hydrous);

• Hydrous ethanol plays a key role in our market providing demand / supply equilibrium.

• Hydrous ethanol volumes will remain superior in comparison with anhydrous in mid‐term perspectives;

• Even with ethanol expansion considered, we forecast a fuel gap opportunity of 1.85 billion gallons of gasoline eq. (2024).

Brazil: Blending and Tax Differentiation Brazil is using ethanol mixture 

above 20% (E20) for 39 years.

Government controlled fuel prices until Jan/02.

Since 2002, fuels have free prices in the whole chain of production and commercialization in Brazil.

In Brazil, federal taxation always kept differentiation between gasoline and ethanol as a State Policy.

US: Ethanol Market PerspectivesThe US Ethanol industry will face constrained growth due to:

Domestic ethanol market is limited by the “blend wall”

Domestic ethanol consumption is mainly in the form of lower blends with gasoline (E10)

No substantial growth can be expected in the short run in the consumption of E15 and E85

Potential for ethanol exports expansion seems limited for next years

Considering this, what about…  New international markets for ethanol fuel?

US blend wall review or incentives to E15 and E85?

Brazil/US Ethanol Trade BalanceBillion liters R$/US$

Page 8: Ricardo de Gusmao Dornelles:  Brazil & the U.S.: Strategic Energy Dialogue

Ethanol Exports DestinationUS Exports (2015*): 630 mi Gallons

Both countries are trying to diversify ethanol exports 

Other destinations to Brazilian ethanol exports included 27 countries (2015)

* Jan‐Sep/2015

Brazil Exports (2014): 370 mi Gallons

Brazil Exports (2015): 500 mi Gallons

Page 9: Ricardo de Gusmao Dornelles:  Brazil & the U.S.: Strategic Energy Dialogue

Despite diversification, ethanol trade is not growing...

Billion litersBilateral trade (US‐Brazil) corresponds to a third of 

total volumes

Bioenergy Global Scenario

The Renewable Energies were responsible for 19.1% of global energy consumption in 2013.

Modern renewable energy participation has increased to 10.1%.

Traditional biomass accounted for 9%, the same as 2012. 

Although its recent growth, biofuels count only for 0.8% of 

global energy supply

IEA estimates that fossil fuels share in 2035 will be reduced to 75%. 

Page 11: Ricardo de Gusmao Dornelles:  Brazil & the U.S.: Strategic Energy Dialogue

What’s Happening Today?

• 62 countries have different biofuels mandates(biodiesel and ethanol)

• Of the global fuel market (in volume):

2013 Global Ethanol Share 6,9%

Ethanol Share (Mandates' Average) 8,7%

Global Biodiesel Share 1,4%

It seems a lot, but…

Trends for bioenergy and a green economy…G7 Climate Commitment  Last year, G7 agreed to support 

reduction between 40% and 70% of emissions until 2050 (base 2010)...

How2Guide for BioenergyInternational Energy Agency initiative launched in 2015

CoP‐21: Long‐term global goal for net zero emissions. Countries have promised to try to bring global emissions down from peak levels as soon as possible. More significantly, they pledged “to achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources”.

Final Remarks

Government mission is to take care of fuel markets pursuing adequate conditions of regular supply and quality standards; 

Brazil and US are engaged at defending, in all forums abroad, biofuels and bioenergy as sustainable alternatives for transport and energy sectors;

Brazil and US are also working hard to open new markets for biofuels as one of the key instruments to tackle the climate change challenge. Under COP 21 conclusions, there is a clear opportunity to foster bioenergy projects.
