ANFAVEA: ETHANOL IS SET TO CUT CO2 EMISSIONS BY 400 MILLION TONS BY 2040

At the second Brazilian Electric Days, Anfavea’s president Márcio de Lima Leite said ethanol could eradicate 400 million tons of CO2 in Brazil by 2040. Unlike Europe, which embraced electric cars quickly, Brazil is positioned in the energy revolution thanks to ethanol. He underlined that decarbonizing has no single solution and that ethanol and electric cars have to coexist. Over 15 years, Anfavea and Boston Consulting Group project that creative technology and biofuels might reduce 280 million tons of CO2. Further efforts include fleet renewal, vehicle inspection, biofuel improvement, and vehicle recycling. Anfavea expects 91% of cars and 59% of heavy trucks to be electrified by 2040.
