These projects will aim at advancing the use of sugarcane bagasse and straw to produce ethanol and products such as polymers, special oils and biodiesel. The South American country is looking to develop an industrial complex for ethanol, following a similar model to the country\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s petrochemical industry.<br \/>\n<!--adsense#300--><\/p>\n<p>The main advantage of second generation ethanol, or bioethanol, is that it has the potential to double the country\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ethanol production capacity without demanding more land to grow sugarcane. All over the world research is being carried out to assess the technology for manufacturing 2G-ethanol and its economic viability.
