Ethanol as an alternative fuel to gasoline fuel is less polluting and have been made in energy efficiency. To make ethanol, sugar is extracted from living plants and fermentation, distillation and dehydration consist of finished products.

The two countries produce about eighty-nine percent of ethanol in the world are Brazil and the United States. Brazil was the sugar cane ethanol over the past thirty years with success. Its success is due to the fact that it can grow big enough to keep the production staff and have some of the most advanced technologies for the production of ethanol from sugar cane. Brazil also has no vehicle on the road with gasoline only. Brazilian automakers make vehicles will be flexible with gasoline and ethanol blends.

Ethanol from sugar cane in Brazil has been created in the twenties and thirties, with the introduction of the car. Output fell by the wayside until the seventies when oil again threatened.

At that time ninety-seven percent of ethanol produced in the United States is from corn. There are no current plans to produce ethanol from sugar cane or beet sugar in the United States. Brazil remains a major producer of ethanol from plant-based sugar cane that grow in abundance. Sugar cane is grown in the four states that have a climate that is closer to what would be considered a tropical climate.
