“…Brazil is represented not only as having produced the most developed and integrated biofuels program in the world but as having produced a system of sugar cane bioethanol production that is low carbon, that mitigates greenhouse gas emissions efficiently (compared to other biofuel crops), that does not do serious damage to natural ecosystems and that represents one of the most promising ways to achieve sustainable development (see Goldemberg 2007;Sorda, Banse, and Kemfert 2010;Walter et al 2011). However, closer attention reveals various systemic issues, ranging from concerns over the labor conditions of sugar cane workers to the ways in which governmental support for biofuels in transport has produced selective 'lock-in' to particular technological-economic trajectories, which of course also lock-out potentially different, more sustainable, and more just, forms of innovation -in this case making it harder to encourage alternative non-automobile forms of urban mobility, and thus failing to impact on the appalling levels of congestion, environmental pollution, lack of infrastructure and poor public transport that is commonplace across many of Brazil's major cities (da Matta 2010).…”

“…Nos últi-mos dez anos, a produção mundial de biocombustíveis aumentou significativamente. Isso ocorreu principalmente em função do aporte de incentivos governamentais (Sorda et al, 2010). Diversos países, como EUA e membros da União Europeia, em especial a Alemanha, têm estimulado a pesquisa, produção e o uso de combustíveis renováveis em seus territórios, a partir de plataformas estratégicas e da implantação de políticas específicas para a inclusão de biocombustíveis à gasolina (Sorda et al, 2010;Tye, et al, 2011;Koizumi, 2013).…”

Assim, manter o controle do ambiente político em rápida mutação, em que os biocombustíveis sejam produzidos, consumidos e comercializados, é um desafio à medida que novas políticas estão sendo promulgadas rapidamente por diferentes países, e a legislação anterior é frequentemente modificada (Carriquiry e Timilsina, 2011).…”

“…In addition, governments have intervened on the production chain by supporting intermediate inputs (feedstock crops), subsidizing value-adding factors (labour, capital, and land) or granting incentives that target end-products. Import tariffs have also played a significant role by protecting national industries from external competition (Sorda et al, 2010).…”
