Choice defined Brazilian ethanol model. People could choose most economical fuel: Prof Suani Coelho
Brazil's ethanol program began in 1975, driven by oil shocks and a strong sugarcane industry. Consumer confidence grew with flex-fuel vehicles, offering fuel choice and economic benefits. Ethanol provides significant greenhouse gas emission reductions compared to gasoline. Brazil's experience shows biofuel success requires long-term commitment and innovation. India and Brazil can collaborate to accelerate technological progress and expand renewable fuel markets.
