Brazilian economy in 2011 "green turn"
Economies in the world to seek "green recovery" of the occasion, Brazil, this is UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as the "green economy leader" of the "BRIC" in the country, always exudes the charm of the green economy.Green Life
Brasilia is more than 2 million inhabitants. Even in the busy downtown street, people are a strong smell of gasoline, because the Brazilian government will upgrade strategic energy ethanol, 2011 to 2012 the annual output will reach 25.5 billion liters of ethanol in 2020 to other countries provide 13.2 billion liters of ethanol.
Brazil, the 2010 Shanghai World Expo Pavilion's theme is "City of Life energy in Brazil", to show visitors from around the world Brazil's urban life and cultural diversity, the vitality of cities, the booming economy and Brazil in achieving sustainable development of a number of achievements, to share Brazil's leading renewable energy development and establish a new model of inclusive city's experience.
Currently, Brazil is the only nationwide supply of pure gasoline is not the country. January 19, 2010, Brazil built the world's first ethanol plants and put into use. In Brazil, demand for ethanol has been increasing, 90% of the new flex-fuel vehicles, the use of any petroleum-based gasoline in the case of mixed ethanol can run. Brazil more than 40% of all vehicles flex-fuel use. Ethanol over gasoline passenger cars most commonly used fuel.
Biofuels are not only energy saving, but also for the production of biofuel feedstocks such as sugar cane, the people benefited. Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture studies show that for every one million tons of sugar cane to produce ethanol fuel related industries can create $ 173 million in value and provide 5681 jobs, much higher than the oil, water, electricity and coal industry average. This bio-fuel industry chain has become a huge boost employment and growth in Brazil's powerful engine.
Brasilia, the capital city of the green rate up to 60%, the city has to legislate to ensure that this ratio does not decrease with the development of the city. At the same time, Brasilia has introduced energy-saving environmental protection, ecological residential area has become a symbol of the quality of life ... ... green in changing the city's present and future.
Green Energy
Starting from the 1970s, successive governments have attached great importance to the Brazilian green energy research and development. New research shows that, due to application of green energy and implement strong measures to protect tropical rain forests, the past four years, Brazil's low carbon dioxide emissions by about 20 million tons.
Although Brazil has proven oil reserves second only to Venezuela in Latin America, Brazil relies on agricultural advantages and advanced bio-technology, the first from sugar cane, soybean, oil palm and other crops in the refined fuels, has become a model for green energy development.
As countries growing interest in ethanol fuel, the Brazilian government has set a more ambitious fuel ethanol production plans. Under the plan, by 2013, annual production of fuel ethanol in Brazil will expand to 350 million liters of annual production of 17 billion liters currently more than twice, of which about 10 billion liters will be exported, the world's largest ethanol exporter country.
To date, 47% of Brazil's energy production from renewable energy sources, of which 18% comes from sugar cane. Select the refining of sugar in Brazil to produce ethanol or as sugar sales, which mainly depends on market conditions.
Demand for ethanol in Brazil has been increasing. Brazilian law also requires that all gasoline in at least 25 percent ethanol blend.
In order to expand the coverage of bio-fuels, Brazil's energy sector to invest in the next five years, about 60 billion U.S. dollars building new ethanol plants and sugar cane plantations, money in the Brazilian oil company also plans to build the world's first bio-fuel pipeline. In addition, the Brazilian science and technology sector has also invested hundreds of millions of dollars for biofuel R & D to accelerate second-generation biofuel research pace, raw materials for biofuels will expand to the straw and other agricultural and forestry wastes, and actively explore the use of nanotechnology breakthrough second-generation bio-fuel production bottlenecks.
At the same time, the Brazilian Government's biodiesel program also helped the family out of poverty effects of agricultural production. According to the Government to formulate a plan, Brazil's biodiesel company signed a contract with small farmers, to ensure that these families all the oilseeds to buy products, while providing them such as seeds, tools and other production of the necessary production and technical support.

Embraer is the world's largest 120-seat commercial jet aircraft, the following manufacturers, the company "carbon neutral growth" as a concept, produced the world's first bio-fuel aircraft.
Bioplastics production in Brazil has also made a breakthrough. Brazil's chemical giant Brazilian Chemical Corporation for the first time using sugar cane to produce green polyethylene materials, and access to the world's first renewable environmentally friendly polypropylene plastic green certification. It is estimated that by 2012 Brazil will have 10% of the plastic made from sugar cane, and in the near future, the world's largest producer of green plastic.
After 30 years of development, the rate of deforestation in recent years the state has been checked Amazon, Amazonas State Ecological Reserve area also from the 7.4 million hectares in 2003 extended to 2009, 17.4 million hectares. Brazil is biofuel crop area has been expanded to 950 million hectares, ethanol and biodiesel producers, respectively, 320 and 43. According to the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture statistics for 2010, Brazil's sugar cane acreage increased 9.2% to 8.1 million hectares. 2009 production of sugarcane ethanol in Brazil is about 30 billion liters of total global output of 1 / 3. Brazil is the world's largest exporter of ethanol, the annual exports of about 50 billion liters.
Brazilian President Rousseff has approved an interim measure, the ethanol from the general agricultural products into a strategic energy derivatives. The measure also provides the added ethanol in gasoline from 25% the proportion decreased to 18%. Rousseff Pakistani President also instructed the oil companies to speed up investments in ethanol production to meet domestic market and international market demand. The Brazilian Government believes that in the next 10 years, need to invest 15 billion reais a year to meet domestic and international markets for sugar cane ethanol demand. As a result of the lack of ethanol production and gasoline prices rose to a considerable level, thereby undermining the competitiveness of dual-fuel vehicles.
As the world's major developing countries and ecological power, Brazil, this is bound to an effective global response to climate change have a huge impact.
