巴西引领生物乙醇和乙醇基塑料新潮流

Brazil:new trend leader of bioethanol and ethanol-based plastic

甘蔗乙醇生产正在拉丁美洲等地兴起,巴西是仅次于美国的世界第二大乙醇生产国,也是世界上从甘蔗制取乙醇的领先出口国。到2007年底巴西约有400座乙醇工厂,巴西有超过500万辆汽车采用混合燃料乙醇汽油。巴西乙醇生产不断扩能,将向世界其他地区增加出口。巴西还基于甘蔗原料以乙醇生产乙烯和丙烯,并发展生物乙醇拓展塑料产业链,生产聚乙烯。

Sugarcane ethanol industry is progressing in Latin America and other areas. Brazil is the world＇s second largest ethanol production country next to Unite States, and is the leading exporting country that of preparing ethanol from sugarcane. By the end of 2007, there are about 400 ethanol plants in Brazil, and are over 5 million vehicles using ethanol gasoline. At present,Brazilian is expanding the ethanol production and the export to other countries. Brazilian also prepares ethylene and propylene with sugarcane ethanol. Furthermore, the industrial chains of plastic material is spreaded by developing bioethanol and polyethelene is prepared.
