 linking the stakeholders

The main objective of the Hub is to bring capabilities of the various

stakeholders involved in the bio-diesel production chain, both in Brazil and
abroad providing resources and diffusing knowledge to the linked firms.

The benefits provided through such linkages are of great significance because
of the complimentary capabilities among the stakeholders.

Linkages with foreign organizations can be a great driver of dynamism and

competitiveness to develop effectively and rapidly the Brazilian bio-diesel
program. The foreign firms benefit from linkages are reduced costs, local
market and product intelligence and enhanced assets (UNCTAD 2001).

MINASINVEST´s interventions, as a leading IPA (Investment promotion agency)

are important to the extent that investors believe that an enterprising IPA can
assist them in identifying and introducing reliable local firms and
organizations with whom the investors can partner.

The linkage envisages upgrading domestic enterprises; facilitating the

transfer of technology, knowledge and skills; improving business and
management practices; and facilitating access to finance and markets.
 Biodiesel - a Mutual Profitable Partnership

¾As oil prices and environmental concerns have risen in the past few
years, investment in new biofuel facilities has mushroomed in Brazil.

¾The Brazilian National Program for use and production was

incorporated in the Brazilian energy matrix by Law nr 11.097/2005 .

¾ Large trans-national corporations, as ADM, have already started

investing in biodiesel projects in Brazil

¾The crop area required to produce the blend of initial mandatory

2% of biodiesel will be 1.5 million hectares, equivalent to only 1% of
the total acreage under crops or available for agriculture throughout
Brazil (150 million hectares).

 Will oil prices rise further?

"There are not enough large-scale projects in the development

pipeline right now to offset declining production in mature oil fields
and to meet global demand growth beyond 2007". (Chris Skrebowski,
the editor of the Petroleum Review )

The total amount of

energy that the world
gets from oil and gas
will begin to decline
after 2010.

Source: GTZ/WorldWatch Institute

 What alternative sources to fill the gap?

9The global demand for oil is increasing by just over 2%

every year at present.
9This increase in demand added to the gap being created
by the declining supply, implies new energy sources each
year equivalent to 4-5 per cent of the world's current oil
production:
around 1,800 million barrels of oil a year.

9In 2015, when world gas output ceases to increase to

meet the its growing demand , the new energy sources
would have to increase the annual rate at which they grew

by another 900 million barrels.

Source: GTZ/WorldWatch Institute
 What alternative sources to fill the gap?

9 The only truly sustainable energy sources are those based

on the flow of energy from the sun: solar, hydro, wind,
wave, biomass.

9These flows are very large in comparison with humankind's

use of energy.

9Renewable sources can therefore meet all the world's

energy needs, both now and in the future.

9The amount of energy supplied by renewable sources

could be 120 times its present level .
The problem is to develop these sources
quickly enough to fill the gap as it opens up.

 Biofuels: a Booming Industry

The world is on the verge of

unprecedented growth in the
production and use of biofuels , by
virtue of:

9 Rising oil prices, national security

concerns, the desire to increase farm
incomes, and a host of new and
improved technologies .

9The two most prevalent biofuels are

ethanol and biodiesel.

World production of ethanol more

than doubled between 2000 and 2005,
while production of biodiesel
quadrupled.
 RET OPPORTUNITIES
¾ Renewable energy will have to supply a greater share of the world's
energy requirements.

¾ It is estimated that the market for clean energy technologies could

be worth $1.9 trillion by 2020. The financial sector has a key role to
play in developing and promoting this market.

¾ In the next 25 years, the world will consume all that has been
produced in fossil oils so far.

¾The world´s dramatic increment for fuels should be supplied by bio-

fuels.

¾ In the future, In the short run, ETHANOL and BIO-DIESEL are the
main bio-fuels.

Renewable energy is both a solution and a business

opportunity; BUSINESS AS AN AGENT OF WORLD BENEFIT

 Brazil’s export potential

With the launch of commercial production, Brazil

becomes a potential exporter of biodiesel.

The EU aims to ensure that 2% of all the fuel consumed

in the region is renewable by 2005, but it has limited
acreage available for growing rapeseed, the main
feedstock produced in Europe, and industrial capacity is
insufficient to meet the stipulated demand.

Despite these constraints, the proportion of renewable

fuels is set to reach 5.75% by 2010 according to EU
Directive 30, ratified by the European Parliament in May
2003.

Given the limitations for production growth in Europe,

Brazilian biodiesel enjoys an unprecedented opportunity
to build market share in the continent Europe.
