Abstract
In this chapter we review the development of Brazilian biofuels policies. Through this chapter, a number of key features will be explored which will highlight just how different Brazilian policies are from EU and US policies. First, Brazil’s ethanol (or ‘alcohol’) policies are fundamentally different from its biodiesel policies. Second, Brazil’s ethanol policies have a much longer continuous history than those of either the US or EU. On the other hand, Brazil’s biodiesel policy is newer than EU and US biofuels policies. A further difference is that, with ethanol in particular, there is more or less a free market in Brazil. We introduce these concepts here, returning to analyse them further in later chapters.
