Abstract

This article aims to present the possible impacts, in the economic and environmental spheres, resulting from the production of second generation ethanol (2GE) in Brazil. Conventional alcohol (1GE) is known to be a clean energy, from renewable sources and that helps to reduce carbon emissions. The discovery of the ability to significantly increase its production with the use of agricultural and urban waste and the economic viability observed in this discovery, further increased the visibility of this biofuel and its potential to help the environment and increase the global supply of energy. Thus, it is necessary to understand the possible scenarios of its production in the country that is a world reference in the production of biofuels and in the use of clean energy.
