The need for a greater presence of renewable sources in national energy matrix was highlighted in the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in 2021. Ethanol made from sugarcane and corn is a promising alternative to achieve the goal in Brazil. For the director of Datagro, Guilherme Nastari, this is an important moment for the biofuel. “Never has a renewable source been so inserted in the global ESG agenda [good environmental and governance practices],” he said during the Teco Premiere event, organized by Novozymes. Ana Loureiro, the development manager at Argus agency, adds that the biofuel is a clean technology that has been used in Brazil for over 40 years: “Ethanol is important in this transition and could represent a step forward for a low carbon economy”.
