The ethanol path.
By Roberto Abdenur
When he took office as president of Petrobras in February, chemical engineer Graça Foster said that one of his goals will be to increase the participation of the state company in the ethanol market. The statement is positive for anyone who seriously works with ethanol in Brazil, a pioneer country in the development of technology for this biofuel. Petrobras is an important player in the sector, which seeks to reverse one of the main problems in the hydrated ethanol trade: tax evasion.
