COUNTRIES TO BE AT THE FOREFRONT IN THE PRODUCTION OF BIOETHANOL
1The two major world producers are the United States and Brazil, which together produce 70% of ethanol, followed by China, India and France . Market incentives have led to the development of growth industries in countries like Thailand, Philippines, Guatemala, Colombia and Dominican Republic. In Europe, both Germany and Spain have significantly increased their production of ethanol.
consumption of ethanol for gasoline in the United States is increasing rapidly, because there is a new law that triples the demand. Today this country consumes about 40 million liters per day, the same as Brazil, the world's largest producer of the alcohol in the currently circulating three million one hundred percent driven cars with ethanol and the remainder (17 million blended gasoline with 25%).
Other countries that are leading in the use of ethanol as a biofuel, CHINA, INDIA, FRANCE, GERMANY, RUSSIA, CANADA, SPAIN, SOUTH AFRICA, THAILAND, UNITED KINGDOM, POLAND, UKRAINE, AND SAUDI ARABIA.
In the case of Colombia there is an annual increase of production of ethanol from 4 to 5%, used in cities with more than 500 000 residents and surrounding municipalities. The 10% ethanol in gasoline demanded 700 billion gallons per year for crops of more than 100 000 hectares.
