Ethanol Reports
Publication date: September 3, 2007

Synopsis
In 2006, Brazilian fuel ethanol consumption amounted to approximately 13 billion litres, equal to approximately 14.69% of Brazil’s total fuel consumption. New car sales are almost exclusively flex-fuel vehicles and foreign demand is growing rapidly as well. The Brazilian ethanol market is starting to transform into a mature industry, especially with IPO’s such as Cosan and São Martinho. Politicians and policy makers around the world are trying to learn from what is often referred to as the Brazilian experience. But investors, policymakers, consultants and managers at a company looking for Brazilian ethanol, should be aware of the Brazilian ethanol market dynamics, which are quite different from developing markets in the United States and Europe. Particularly Brazil’s market structure and complex system of ownership is at times difficult to grasp and possibly a barrier for foreign investors. The development of land prices and congestion problems in Brazil’s main ports are all issues that need to be taken into consideration when taking decisions related to the Brazilian ethanol market. This reports was written to provide professionals with a comprehensive overview of the Bra¬zilian fuel ethanol market in all it’s aspects, including production, consumption, legislation, international trade and key conditions for market development.

    Introduction
    Background
    Although the United States has become the largest ethanol producer in 2006, the single most advanced ethanol nation is still Brazil. With market developments dating back to 1975, it has had the time to develop what is now becoming a robust ethanol consumption market. It is the only country in the world that almost exclusively sells FFV’s and it is most likely the only country in the world with significant ethanol export capacity in the next few years. Politicians and policy makers around the world are trying to learn from what is often referred to as the Brazilian experience. But investors, policymakers, consultants and managers at a company looking for Brazilian ethanol, should be aware of the Brazilian ethanol market dynamics, which are quite different from developing markets in the United States and Europe. Particularly Brazil’s market structure and complex system of ownership is at times difficult to grasp and possibly a barrier for foreign investors. The development of land prices and congestion problems in Brazil´s main ports are all issues that need to be taken into consideration when taking decisions related to the Brazilian ethanol market.
    Goal of this Report
    This reports was written to provide professionals with a comprehensive overview of the Brazilian fuel ethanol market in all it’s aspects, including production, consumption, legislation, international trade and key conditions for market development. Unlike most reports, it provides exact and consistent statistics over a period of several years, perfectly suitable for business planning, calculations and academic studies. It will save valuable time for those in need of reliable and comprehensive information to make business decisions and analyses.

    Report Structure
    After the introduction, chapter 2 will provide a clear synopsis of the historic development of Brazil’s fuel ethanol market. Chapter 3 will analyze fuel ethanol consumption in Brazil, including flex-fuel vehicle market share and consumer price mechanisms. Chapter 4 will then provide a clear overview of the supply side of the market, explaining the Brazilian market structure and changing market forces. Finally, chapter 5 will provide a detailed overview of Brazilian fuel ethanol exports, breaking down statistics by country of destination, importing regions and port market shares.
