Brazil has a long-standing progressive history of exploring the potential of bioethanol created sugarcane alteration as an alternative fuel that can be used for transportation. A national campaign was launched to promote its incorporation. Recently, US and Brazilian chemists have been working together to increase the productivity of the project. This process allows for truckloads of sugarcane to be converted into sugar, bioethanol, and electricity. The process has a low observed waste output. Currently, a progressive group of scientists have begun exploring the potential of combined bioethanol and biodiesel fuels. These progressive sugar/biofuel transformation processes are a method of extending fossil fuel supplies. A new generation of technologies for converting cellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals are expected to cause change in the global economy.
While helpful, these operations must be carefully conducted. Reckless biofuel development would ignore the balance of regional and global sustainability. In effect, social and economic failures could ensue, along with environmental degradation and imbalances in trade. Visionaries strive to promote an international agenda to promote biofuel development and allow equal participation among all countries in a global energy marketplace.

Bagasse, sweet fluff fibrous, are the remains of processed sugarcane. Bagasse is burned in Brazil to generate electricity. In the future, enzymatic processes might be used to convert the cellulosic material into additional ethanol.
