Brazil should be an exporter of ethanol technologies, such as the fuel cell, to neighboring countries, to Europe, and to emerging powers, as China and India, said Volkswagen Latin America CEO, Pablo Di Si. “Brazil needs to think big and show the world its capacity as a developer of biofuels, exporting technology, and not just ethanol,” said the CEO in a webinar promoted by Fenasucro on Tuesday, 25. “We have to think about ethanol, and the fuel cell. The fuel cell can be transported in a container and exported to Europe and China”, he added. According to Di Si, this requires investment in research and development in national institutions, so that Brazil will be able to play a leading role in the world. “Ethanol can be a complementary technology for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles, developed in Brazil with export potential. Ethanol works well in Brazil and will work well with some component mixed in some other countries, although the base is always ethanol”, he said.
