1 BRAZILIAN SUGARCANE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION UNIÃO DA INDÚSTRIA DE CANA-DE-AÇÚCAR Outlook for Sugarcane Biofuels Building on Brazil s s Experience with ethanol Joel Velasco Chief Representative North America 1
2 OUTLINE 1 Overview of the Sugarcane Industry 2 Building Blocks of Energy Security 3 Sugarcane & Climate Change 4 U.S. Policies 2
3 ABOUT UNICA UNICA is the leading sugarcane industry association, representing 118 producers and mills in Brazil Responsible for 60% of all ethanol and sugar production in Brazil Emerging as a leader in the generation of bioelectricity already meeting 3% of Brazil s electricity demand International presence, now in Washington & Brussels, to engage in constructive dialogue 3
4 SUGARCANE PRODUCTS Note: Estimates based on available data projections. 4
5 CURRENT PRODUCTION 7 BGY MW 31 MT 5 Note: Estimates based on available data projections.
6 ESTIMATED PRODUCTION 2008/09e 2015/ /21 Sugarcane production (million tons) ,038 Sugar (million tons) Internal market and stocks Surplus Export Ethanol (billion gallons) Internal market and stocks Surplus Export Bioelectricity (MW average) Bioelectricity in Brazilian energy matrix (%) 3% 15% 15% Note: e = estimated data; potential generation of surplus electricity has been calculated based on the utilization of 75% of the available bagasse and 50% of the available straw, and considering the sugarcane production during 2007/08 harvest season, Sources UNICA, Copersucar and Cogen, 6
