Question

Why is ethanol cost-competitive with gasoline in Brazil?

		The cost of corn is less in Brazil than in the United States
		Brazil pays large subsidies to make ethanol competitive
		Ethanol derived from sugar cane has a higher ratio of output to input energy
		Brazilian vehicles are flex-fuel and can even run on 100% ethanol

Answer 1

actually in Brazil, gas sold at the pumps is 25 % ethanol.

it required no of sponsorships over decades before it could get practical.

Ethanol program became uneconomical when oil costs fell in the late three decades,

in view of a time of high oil costs,

ethanol eccentric costs have not liberated Brazilians from losing cash on the E20 mix mentioned by their association.

based on price variations,

formers in Brazil are only to make more money by selling their product as sugar on the world market rather than converting into alcohol.

because of these reasons,

the Brazilian ethanol program is not suitable for the countries are like U.S.

Brazil pays large subsidies to make ethanol competitive

and

Ethanol derived from sugar cane has a higher ratio of output to input energy
