Brazil:
a leader in
low-carbon solutions
to climate change
With nearly half of its energy matrix based on
renewable sources, Brazil is a global leader in the
production and large scale use of clean, renewable
energy. The successful use of sugarcane helps
the country reduce its dependence on oil,
while increasing energy security and contributing
to a thriving economy.

A Promising
Partnership with
the European Union

Brazil-United States:
Making a Difference
Together

“The European Union is looking for solutions to
tackle global warming and reduce greenhouse
gas emissions from transport. Thanks to its
unique environmental performance, Brazilian
sugarcane ethanol can help Europe meet its
ambitious 2020 climate targets and ultimately
diversify its energy supply.”

“The United States (U.S.) and Brazil both want
safe, secure and affordable energy, at home and
globally. In December 2011, the U.S. removed its
over 30-year-old tariff on ethanol and opened up
the American market to imports of clean fuels. With
leadership from both Americans and Brazilians, a
global market for free trade of renewable energy can
become a reality.”

Unlocking the
Power of Sugarcane
Sugarcane has been produced in Brazil for more
than 500 years, making it the country’s oldest
economic activity. Decades of intense research,
development and innovation have resulted in a
large-scale and modern industry able to deliver
sugar, ethanol and many other renewable energy
solutions. The Proálcool program put in place in the
1970s has helped Brazil transition from importing
almost 80% of its total oil consumption to becoming
virtually energy independent and a world leader in
renewable energy.
While sugarcane was first dedicated to sugar
production, tremendous advances in technology have
allowed it to go beyond food, ensuring that all parts of
the sugarcane plant are converted into energy.

Sugarcane ethanol is used in the transport sector as a renewable
fuel that cuts greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 90%
compared to gasoline. Increasing the uptake of sugarcane
ethanol can help improve global energy security by diversifying
both fuel supply and suppliers. Sugarcane ethanol also serves
as a substitute for petrol to produce bioplastics, which have
the same properties as regular plastics but are much more
environmentally friendly.
Brazil is the world’s largest producer of sugarcane, sugar,
and sugarcane ethanol.
Bioelectricity is another innovative area for sugarcane, where
leftover sugarcane biomass­ known as bagasse­­
—
—is burned
and converted into clean electricity.
The next frontier of sugarcane innovation is the development
of transport fuels that go beyond ethanol, such as diesel and
jet fuel made directly from sugarcane. These biohydrocarbons
will be clean, low-carbon and renewable like ethanol, but will
not require engine changes or additional infrastructure.

Most countries around the world are searching for clean,

renewable options to increase energy supplies and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Sugarcane has
emerged as an important alternative for meeting those needs. This powerful plant is grown in more than
100 countries and holds the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, diversify energy supplies and
create jobs.
SUGARCANE

ONE PLANT, MANY SOLUTIONS
Sugar, Ethanol, Bioelectricity & Beyond
UNLOCKING
THE POWER OF
SUGARCANE
The sugarcane industry in
Brazil provides clean and
renewable solutions to our
most pressing challenges,
including climate change mitigation and diversification of energy
sources. This is made possible thanks to sugarcane’s unique
versatility. While it was first used to produce sugar, sugarcane
is now diversifying into an extraordinarily wide range of valueadded products that go beyond food, ethanol and bioelectricity
to also include bioplastics, biohydrocarbons and biochemicals.
Sugarcane-derived products are produced in the same facilities,
which are powered by clean energy from leftover cane fiber
(known as bagasse), reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
and transportation costs.
In addition to reducing GHG emissions, sugarcane has the potential
to diversify energy supplies and create jobs. This single plant offers
an expanding array of solutions for a cleaner, healthier planet.

SUGAR

Sugar is the most traditional product made from sugarcane.
It has been a popular sweetener for centuries. Portuguese settlers
started to plant sugarcane in Brazil in the 1530s without knowing
that the product would become a key pillar of Brazil’s economy.
Today Brazilian sugar production accounts for approximately 25%
of global production and 50% of world exports. Approximately 2/3 of
all sugar produced in Brazil is exported to more than 100 countries
around the world. Virtually all exports are traded in the free market­
—
with the exception of developed countries that tend to protect their
sugar markets by granting very small tariff-rate quotas to Brazil.
Brazil is a member of the Global Alliance for Sugar Trade Reform
and Liberalization, which seeks to improve the world’s sugar trading
environment.

Flex Fuel Vehicles: A Brazilian Success Story
The National Ethanol Program, known as Proálcool, was launched in 1975 by the Brazilian
government and set the basis of Brazil’s successful biofuels policy. It was in 2003 that
sugarcane ethanol use increased significantly with the introduction of Flex Fuel Vehicles
(FFVs). FFVs can run on 100% ethanol, gasoline, or any blend of the two, giving Brazilian
consumers a unique choice at the pump. Drivers’ decision on the type of fuel they use is
based on price and environmental benefits. In 2012, FFVs accounted for 57% of the light
vehicle fleet and for 92% of new car sales in Brazil. This success paved the way for the
launch of flex fuel motorcycles in 2009 and ethanol-powered buses.

ETHANOL
Sugarcane ethanol is a clean and affordable
renewable fuel that significantly reduces GHG
emissions and helps diversify energy supplies, while
at the same time respecting the environment. It is an
alcohol-based fuel produced by the fermentation of
sugarcane juice and molasses. A cost-competitive and
low-carbon option, sugarcane ethanol has emerged
as a leading renewable fuel in the transport sector.
Moreover, it offers the best environmental performance
of any biofuel produced on a commercial scale.
Benefits of Ethanol:
• Cleaner Air. Ethanol adds oxygen to gasoline, which
helps reduce air pollution and harmful emissions.
• Reduced GHG Emissions. Compared to gasoline,
sugarcane ethanol cuts CO 2 emissions by an
average of 90%.
• Better Performance. Ethanol is a high-octane fuel
that helps prevent engine knocking and generates
more horsepower than regular gasoline.

• Lower Petroleum Usage. Ethanol reduces global dependence on oil.

Brazil is the world’s largest producer of sugarcane ethanol
and a pioneer in using ethanol as a motor vehicle fuel.
The country has replaced half of its gasoline needs with
sugarcane ethanol. All gasoline sold in Brazil includes a
blend of 18 to 25% ethanol.
Sugarcane ethanol is made from the sucrose found in
cane juice and molasses. The process taps only 1/3 of
the energy sugarcane can provide. The other 2/3 are
locked in the bagasse, the fibrous residue that remains
once cane is crushed, and the straw, which is removed
from the cane harvested mechanically before it is
processed. New techniques are under development to
produce what is known as cellulosic ethanol from leftover
plant material. Once these processes are commercially
viable, cellulosic ethanol has the potential to nearly
double the fuel that can be produced without increasing
the area planted with sugarcane.

In Brazil, nearly all new cars can run on either
ethanol or gasoline. Every fueling station has at
least one dedicated ethanol pump.

BIOELECTRICITY
As it grows, sugarcane converts sunlight into
chemical energy, which is stored inside the juice,
the bagasse and the straw. Brazilian sugarcane mills
harness the energy contained in bagasse by burning
and converting it into bioelectricity. After the cane
is harvested mechanically, the straw can be burned
alongside bagasse in high-efficiency boilers to produce
even more bioelectricity.
Sugarcane mills are leading by example in bioelectricity.
They are energy self-sufficient, producing enough
steam and bioelectricity to power their own operations.
A growing number of mills generate an energy surplus,
which is sold to distribution companies and helps to
light up numerous cities throughout Brazil.
Bioelectricity from sugarcane biomass already provides
more than 3% of Brazil’s electricity needs, a figure that
is expected to increase to 18% by 2020. By comparison,
this is enough energy to power the currrent demand of
an entire country the size of Sweden or Argentina.
In addition, bioelectricity is complementary to hydroelectricity, Brazil’s main source of electric energy.
Sugarcane’s harvesting season, when most biomass is
available, coincides with the driest period of the year,
when the water reservoirs are at their lowest.

2/3 of the sugarcane energy
is stored in the leftover cane
fiber known as bagasse and
in the straw.

SUGARCANE INDUSTRY IN BRAZIL | 5
Since 1969, the Sugarcane
Technology Center (CTC) has
played an important role in the
ongoing evolution of sugarcane
production and processing.

WHAT’S NEXT?
Biohydrocarbons and Biochemicals
Biohydrocarbons go beyond traditional biofuels and
represent the next frontier for sugarcane. Brazil is leading
the way in the development of alternative transportation
fuels that could replace gasoline, diesel and jet fuel
without petroleum. These biochemical molecules will be
clean, low-carbon and renewable like ethanol. They are
often called “drop-in fuels” because they can be used
in any amount with current engines, fueling stations
and pipelines. Some companies are also developing
sugarcane-based biochemicals as ingredients in the
production of lubricants, cosmetics and detergents.

6 | Visit sugarcane.org for more information

Bioplastics
Conventional plastics are becoming economically and
environmentally unsustainable. As a result, sugarcane
ethanol has emerged as an important ingredient to
substitute for petroleum in the production of plastic
to produce bioplastics. By replacing petroleum with
sugarcane, beverage containers, food packaging and
other consumer products emit far less GHG emissions
in the atmosphere.
Bioplastics have the same physical and chemical
properties as regular plastic (the most common type is
known technically as PET) and are 100% recyclable.
WHY BRAZILIAN
SUGARCANE?
Greenhouse Gas Reductions
Sugarcane ethanol cuts CO2 emissions by
90%, on average, compared to gasoline, and
other sugarcane products offer similar lowcarbon advantages.
Energy Diversity & Security
Sugarcane no longer produces just sugar.
It can be used to develop multiple forms of
energy, including ethanol, bioelectricity and
biohydrocarbons. Expanding production of
clean, renewable sugarcane products would
help enhance energy security and reduce
global dependence on fossil fuels.
Cultivation Best Practices
The sugarcane sector works with a wide range
of stakeholders to share best practices for
sustainable production. It employs modern
agronomic management techniques to enhance
productivity and protect the environment.
Brazilian mills have low soil erosion, water
and agrochemicals use. Brazilian sugarcane
needs fewer soil inputs due to the innovative
use of organic fertilizers created throughout
the sugarcane processing.
Economic Growth & Job Creation
The sugarcane industry is a key segment in
the Brazilian economy, generating US $36
billion in gross annual revenue and employing
more than 1 million people. Beyond Brazil,
many cane-growing nations are located in the
tropics and are often developing countries
in search of new economic opportunities.
Sugarcane expansion can create rural jobs
and increase access to electricity.

São Paulo’s Green Protocol:
An Industry Best Practice
The Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association
(UNICA) has partnered with the government of
the São Paulo State, where 60% of Brazilian
sugarcane is grown, to create the Green Protocol.
Technological advances and environmental
concerns have increased demand for mechanized
harvesting because it eliminates the need to burn
fields. Mechanization is increasing and by 2014
approximately 90% of the harvest will
be mechanized. By 2017, it will be
the only means of harvesting.

RenovAção Program:
Boosting Skills Through Training
With mechanization advancing and rapidly
replacing manual harvesting, the sugarcane
industry has focused on retraining workers so
they can find suitable jobs within the sector
or work in other segments of the economy.
Since the launch of the ‘RenovAção’ program
(2010/11), UNICA, its member companies,
and partners have trained almost 23,000
workers through local requalification
programs.

Preserving
Biodiversity

Preserving biodiversity

Sugarcane production is growing to accommodate
the booming demand for sugarcane-derived products, and
especially for clean and renewable ethanol. Essential to
managing this growth is proper land use planning, while
at the same time protecting precious natural resources.
Brazil recognizes this challenge and has taken the
lead in establishing agro-ecological zonings across its
territory to allow for the sustainable expansion of food
and bioenergy production.
Sugarcane is grown on a small amount of Brazil’s farmland, occupying 9.5
million hectares. Of that amount, 4.6 million is used to grow cane to be
processed into ethanol. This is only 0.5% of the Brazilian territory.
Almost 90% of Brazilian sugarcane production takes place in South-Central
Brazil, with the remainder grown along the coast of Northeastern Brazil.
Both producing regions are located 2,000 to 2,500 km (1,240 to 1,550
miles) away from the Amazon. That is roughly the distance between New
York City and Dallas, or Paris and Moscow.

Sugarcane Agro-Ecological Zoning: responsible production
Since 2009, Brazil ensures by law that sugarcane expansion is compatible with respect for
biodiversity. The Sugarcane Agro-ecological Zoning pivots on three main rules:
• No sugarcane expansion
or new ethanol production
facilities in sensitive
biomes like the Amazon
and the Pantanal wetlands.

8 | Visit sugarcane.org for more information

• No clearance of native
vegetation to expand
sugarcane cultivation
anywhere in the country,
including in native Cerrado.

• Identification of suitable
areas with proper agronomic
and climate conditions
where sugarcane production
should be prioritized over
other regions.

Sugarcane industry in brazil by UNICA

  • 2. About Us The Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA) is the leading association for the sugarcane industry in Brazil, representing 60% of the country’s sugarcane production and processing. UNICA’s priorities include serving as a source for reliable information and analysis about the efficiency and sustainability of sugarcane products, particularly ethanol. The association works to encourage the continuous advancement of sustainable practices throughout the sugarcane industry, and to promote low-carbon sugarcane energy solutions as a clean alternative to traditional fossil-based products. linked to the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC), whose mission is to foster the competitiveness of Brazilian companies by promoting their internationalization and the attraction of foreign direct investments (FDI). Apex-Brasil supports more than 13,000 companies in 81 productive sectors of the Brazilian economy exporting to more than 200 markets. Through initiatives undertaken in a partnership with industry organizations, the Agency organizes trade promotion activities and produces trade and competitive intelligence studies with the objective of guiding the decisions of domestic corporations on the entry into international markets. The Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) is a Brazilian government agency UNICA and Apex-Brasil are partners in promoting the benefits of Brazilian sugarcane ethanol around the globe.
  • 3. Brazil: a leader in low-carbon solutions to climate change With nearly half of its energy matrix based on renewable sources, Brazil is a global leader in the production and large scale use of clean, renewable energy. The successful use of sugarcane helps the country reduce its dependence on oil, while increasing energy security and contributing to a thriving economy. Elizabeth Farina CEO UNICA A Promising Partnership with the European Union Brazil-United States: Making a Difference Together “The European Union is looking for solutions to tackle global warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport. Thanks to its unique environmental performance, Brazilian sugarcane ethanol can help Europe meet its ambitious 2020 climate targets and ultimately diversify its energy supply.” “The United States (U.S.) and Brazil both want safe, secure and affordable energy, at home and globally. In December 2011, the U.S. removed its over 30-year-old tariff on ethanol and opened up the American market to imports of clean fuels. With leadership from both Americans and Brazilians, a global market for free trade of renewable energy can become a reality.” UNICA’s office in Brussels UNICA’s office in Washington, D.C.
  • 4. 5.6% Other Renewables Sugarcane is the Top Source of Renewable Energy in Brazil 38.6% Petroleum & Derivatives 9.7% Other Biomass 15.7% SUGARCANE 14.7% Hydroelectricity 15.7% Coal & Natural Gas Source: BEN (2012) Unlocking the Power of Sugarcane Sugarcane has been produced in Brazil for more than 500 years, making it the country’s oldest economic activity. Decades of intense research, development and innovation have resulted in a large-scale and modern industry able to deliver sugar, ethanol and many other renewable energy solutions. The Proálcool program put in place in the 1970s has helped Brazil transition from importing almost 80% of its total oil consumption to becoming virtually energy independent and a world leader in renewable energy. While sugarcane was first dedicated to sugar production, tremendous advances in technology have allowed it to go beyond food, ensuring that all parts of the sugarcane plant are converted into energy. Sugarcane ethanol is used in the transport sector as a renewable fuel that cuts greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 90% compared to gasoline. Increasing the uptake of sugarcane ethanol can help improve global energy security by diversifying both fuel supply and suppliers. Sugarcane ethanol also serves as a substitute for petrol to produce bioplastics, which have the same properties as regular plastics but are much more environmentally friendly. Brazil is the world’s largest producer of sugarcane, sugar, and sugarcane ethanol. Bioelectricity is another innovative area for sugarcane, where leftover sugarcane biomass­ known as bagasse­­ — —is burned and converted into clean electricity. The next frontier of sugarcane innovation is the development of transport fuels that go beyond ethanol, such as diesel and jet fuel made directly from sugarcane. These biohydrocarbons will be clean, low-carbon and renewable like ethanol, but will not require engine changes or additional infrastructure. Most countries around the world are searching for clean, renewable options to increase energy supplies and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Sugarcane has emerged as an important alternative for meeting those needs. This powerful plant is grown in more than 100 countries and holds the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, diversify energy supplies and create jobs.
  • 5. SUGARCANE ONE PLANT, MANY SOLUTIONS Sugar, Ethanol, Bioelectricity & Beyond
  • 6. UNLOCKING THE POWER OF SUGARCANE The sugarcane industry in Brazil provides clean and renewable solutions to our most pressing challenges, including climate change mitigation and diversification of energy sources. This is made possible thanks to sugarcane’s unique versatility. While it was first used to produce sugar, sugarcane is now diversifying into an extraordinarily wide range of valueadded products that go beyond food, ethanol and bioelectricity to also include bioplastics, biohydrocarbons and biochemicals. Sugarcane-derived products are produced in the same facilities, which are powered by clean energy from leftover cane fiber (known as bagasse), reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and transportation costs. In addition to reducing GHG emissions, sugarcane has the potential to diversify energy supplies and create jobs. This single plant offers an expanding array of solutions for a cleaner, healthier planet. For more information on the Brazilian sugarcane industry, visit: www.unica.com.br/en, www.unicadata.com.br and sugarcane.org
  • 7. SUGAR Sugar is the most traditional product made from sugarcane. It has been a popular sweetener for centuries. Portuguese settlers started to plant sugarcane in Brazil in the 1530s without knowing that the product would become a key pillar of Brazil’s economy. Today Brazilian sugar production accounts for approximately 25% of global production and 50% of world exports. Approximately 2/3 of all sugar produced in Brazil is exported to more than 100 countries around the world. Virtually all exports are traded in the free market­ — with the exception of developed countries that tend to protect their sugar markets by granting very small tariff-rate quotas to Brazil. Brazil is a member of the Global Alliance for Sugar Trade Reform and Liberalization, which seeks to improve the world’s sugar trading environment. SUGARCANE INDUSTRY IN BRAZIL | 1
  • 8. Flex Fuel Vehicles: A Brazilian Success Story The National Ethanol Program, known as Proálcool, was launched in 1975 by the Brazilian government and set the basis of Brazil’s successful biofuels policy. It was in 2003 that sugarcane ethanol use increased significantly with the introduction of Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFVs). FFVs can run on 100% ethanol, gasoline, or any blend of the two, giving Brazilian consumers a unique choice at the pump. Drivers’ decision on the type of fuel they use is based on price and environmental benefits. In 2012, FFVs accounted for 57% of the light vehicle fleet and for 92% of new car sales in Brazil. This success paved the way for the launch of flex fuel motorcycles in 2009 and ethanol-powered buses. 2 | Visit sugarcane.org for more information
  • 9. ETHANOL Sugarcane ethanol is a clean and affordable renewable fuel that significantly reduces GHG emissions and helps diversify energy supplies, while at the same time respecting the environment. It is an alcohol-based fuel produced by the fermentation of sugarcane juice and molasses. A cost-competitive and low-carbon option, sugarcane ethanol has emerged as a leading renewable fuel in the transport sector. Moreover, it offers the best environmental performance of any biofuel produced on a commercial scale. Benefits of Ethanol: • Cleaner Air. Ethanol adds oxygen to gasoline, which helps reduce air pollution and harmful emissions. • Reduced GHG Emissions. Compared to gasoline, sugarcane ethanol cuts CO 2 emissions by an average of 90%. • Better Performance. Ethanol is a high-octane fuel that helps prevent engine knocking and generates more horsepower than regular gasoline. • Lower Petroleum Usage. Ethanol reduces global dependence on oil. Brazil is the world’s largest producer of sugarcane ethanol and a pioneer in using ethanol as a motor vehicle fuel. The country has replaced half of its gasoline needs with sugarcane ethanol. All gasoline sold in Brazil includes a blend of 18 to 25% ethanol. Sugarcane ethanol is made from the sucrose found in cane juice and molasses. The process taps only 1/3 of the energy sugarcane can provide. The other 2/3 are locked in the bagasse, the fibrous residue that remains once cane is crushed, and the straw, which is removed from the cane harvested mechanically before it is processed. New techniques are under development to produce what is known as cellulosic ethanol from leftover plant material. Once these processes are commercially viable, cellulosic ethanol has the potential to nearly double the fuel that can be produced without increasing the area planted with sugarcane. In Brazil, nearly all new cars can run on either ethanol or gasoline. Every fueling station has at least one dedicated ethanol pump. SUGARCANE INDUSTRY IN BRAZIL | 3
  • 10. 4 | Visit sugarcane.org for more information
  • 11. BIOELECTRICITY As it grows, sugarcane converts sunlight into chemical energy, which is stored inside the juice, the bagasse and the straw. Brazilian sugarcane mills harness the energy contained in bagasse by burning and converting it into bioelectricity. After the cane is harvested mechanically, the straw can be burned alongside bagasse in high-efficiency boilers to produce even more bioelectricity. Sugarcane mills are leading by example in bioelectricity. They are energy self-sufficient, producing enough steam and bioelectricity to power their own operations. A growing number of mills generate an energy surplus, which is sold to distribution companies and helps to light up numerous cities throughout Brazil. Bioelectricity from sugarcane biomass already provides more than 3% of Brazil’s electricity needs, a figure that is expected to increase to 18% by 2020. By comparison, this is enough energy to power the currrent demand of an entire country the size of Sweden or Argentina. In addition, bioelectricity is complementary to hydroelectricity, Brazil’s main source of electric energy. Sugarcane’s harvesting season, when most biomass is available, coincides with the driest period of the year, when the water reservoirs are at their lowest. 2/3 of the sugarcane energy is stored in the leftover cane fiber known as bagasse and in the straw. SUGARCANE INDUSTRY IN BRAZIL | 5
  • 12. Since 1969, the Sugarcane Technology Center (CTC) has played an important role in the ongoing evolution of sugarcane production and processing. WHAT’S NEXT? Biohydrocarbons and Biochemicals Biohydrocarbons go beyond traditional biofuels and represent the next frontier for sugarcane. Brazil is leading the way in the development of alternative transportation fuels that could replace gasoline, diesel and jet fuel without petroleum. These biochemical molecules will be clean, low-carbon and renewable like ethanol. They are often called “drop-in fuels” because they can be used in any amount with current engines, fueling stations and pipelines. Some companies are also developing sugarcane-based biochemicals as ingredients in the production of lubricants, cosmetics and detergents. 6 | Visit sugarcane.org for more information Bioplastics Conventional plastics are becoming economically and environmentally unsustainable. As a result, sugarcane ethanol has emerged as an important ingredient to substitute for petroleum in the production of plastic to produce bioplastics. By replacing petroleum with sugarcane, beverage containers, food packaging and other consumer products emit far less GHG emissions in the atmosphere. Bioplastics have the same physical and chemical properties as regular plastic (the most common type is known technically as PET) and are 100% recyclable.
  • 13. WHY BRAZILIAN SUGARCANE? Greenhouse Gas Reductions Sugarcane ethanol cuts CO2 emissions by 90%, on average, compared to gasoline, and other sugarcane products offer similar lowcarbon advantages. Energy Diversity & Security Sugarcane no longer produces just sugar. It can be used to develop multiple forms of energy, including ethanol, bioelectricity and biohydrocarbons. Expanding production of clean, renewable sugarcane products would help enhance energy security and reduce global dependence on fossil fuels. Cultivation Best Practices The sugarcane sector works with a wide range of stakeholders to share best practices for sustainable production. It employs modern agronomic management techniques to enhance productivity and protect the environment. Brazilian mills have low soil erosion, water and agrochemicals use. Brazilian sugarcane needs fewer soil inputs due to the innovative use of organic fertilizers created throughout the sugarcane processing. Economic Growth & Job Creation The sugarcane industry is a key segment in the Brazilian economy, generating US $36 billion in gross annual revenue and employing more than 1 million people. Beyond Brazil, many cane-growing nations are located in the tropics and are often developing countries in search of new economic opportunities. Sugarcane expansion can create rural jobs and increase access to electricity. São Paulo’s Green Protocol: An Industry Best Practice The Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA) has partnered with the government of the São Paulo State, where 60% of Brazilian sugarcane is grown, to create the Green Protocol. Technological advances and environmental concerns have increased demand for mechanized harvesting because it eliminates the need to burn fields. Mechanization is increasing and by 2014 approximately 90% of the harvest will be mechanized. By 2017, it will be the only means of harvesting. RenovAção Program: Boosting Skills Through Training With mechanization advancing and rapidly replacing manual harvesting, the sugarcane industry has focused on retraining workers so they can find suitable jobs within the sector or work in other segments of the economy. Since the launch of the ‘RenovAção’ program (2010/11), UNICA, its member companies, and partners have trained almost 23,000 workers through local requalification programs.

  • 14. Preserving Biodiversity Preserving biodiversity Sugarcane production is growing to accommodate the booming demand for sugarcane-derived products, and especially for clean and renewable ethanol. Essential to managing this growth is proper land use planning, while at the same time protecting precious natural resources. Brazil recognizes this challenge and has taken the lead in establishing agro-ecological zonings across its territory to allow for the sustainable expansion of food and bioenergy production. Sugarcane is grown on a small amount of Brazil’s farmland, occupying 9.5 million hectares. Of that amount, 4.6 million is used to grow cane to be processed into ethanol. This is only 0.5% of the Brazilian territory. Almost 90% of Brazilian sugarcane production takes place in South-Central Brazil, with the remainder grown along the coast of Northeastern Brazil. Both producing regions are located 2,000 to 2,500 km (1,240 to 1,550 miles) away from the Amazon. That is roughly the distance between New York City and Dallas, or Paris and Moscow.

The Sugarcane Agro-ecological Zoning pivots on three main rules: • No sugarcane expansion or new ethanol production facilities in sensitive biomes like the Amazon and the Pantanal wetlands. 8 | Visit sugarcane.org for more information • No clearance of native vegetation to expand sugarcane cultivation anywhere in the country, including in native Cerrado. • Identification of suitable areas with proper agronomic and climate conditions where sugarcane production should be prioritized over other regions.
