3 Brazil in the world of cane, sugar & ethanol 35.3% of world s sugarcane production (FAO, 2014); 56.5% of cane is converted to ethanol & 43.5% to sugar (Datagro, 2014); Brazil responds to 45.6% of world sugar exports (raw equiv.) and 19% of world ethanol exports, With only 31.4% of cane dedicated to exports (Datagro, 2014), Growth is a result of diversification and increases in productivity since

9 Ethanol substituted between billion barrels of gasoline Proved reserves of oil & condensates (including Pre-Salt) in 2014: billion barrels (SEC),or billion barrels (SPE/WPC). Between 1975 & 2014, volume de gasoline substituted by ethanol: 2.41 billion barrels At current pace, every year another 127 million barrels are substituted without the need of new investments because it is renewable!

10 Hard currency savings Between 1975 & 2014, substituted gasoline valued at its world price enabled savings of US$ billion, without considering the cost of foregone debt, or US$ billion, considering the cost of foregone debt (estimated at Prime Rate base pts). Source: DATAGRO Brazil s foreign reserves (31 July 2015): US$ billion.

11 Competitiveness of Ethanol vs. Gasoline at pump level Note: Below 70% hydrous ethanol/gasoline price ratio, hydrous ethanol is more advantageous to consumers than gasoline 11

12 Strategies for R&D Development From Intervention to Deregulation Brazil s sugarcane industry moved from a full-intervention model until 1989, to a deregulation phase that lasted 10 years ( ). Since 1999, the industry is fully deregulated. Until 1989, government established: Production quotas for cane, sugar, ethanol; Commercialization quotas for sugar & ethanol; Authorizations for deliveries out of mill inventories; Prices for cane, sugar & ethanol at producer level; State monopoly on sugar exports; Developed R&D activities for development of new cane varieties (through Planalsucar, part of the IAA Instituto do Açúcar e do Álcool, part of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce). In 1989, IAA was declared extinct, and deregulation phase started. 12

13 Chronology Strategies for R&D Development Oldest R&D activity in cane in Brazil has been developed by IAC/SP (Instituto Agronomico de Campinas), founded in 1892, initial R&D in cane started in 1950s. IAA/Planalsucar started R&D in cane in mid 1960 s. In 1969, COPERSUCAR created its own R&D Center, denominated CTC-Centro Tecnológico da Copersucar, in Piracicaba, São Paulo, to develop cane varieties and technology only to its affiliated members. Until 1989, R&D for cane in Brazil was developed in parallel by IAC, CTC and Planalsucar/IAA. With the extinction of IAA, personnel and R&D activities of Planalsucar were transferred in 1991 to network of 7 Universities denominated RIDESA Rede Interuniversitária para o Desenvolvimento do Setor Sucroenergético. In 1997, legislation was approved to protect Intelectual Property (IP) on R&D in plant breeding (Lei de Proteção de Cultivares, PL 9456, 25/04/1997). In 2004, CTC opened use of its varieties and other technologies to other members besides Copersucar for payment, and changed name to Centro de Tecnologia Canavieira (CTC). In 2011, CTC became a corporation. Currently, R&D in cane is developed by RIDESA, CTC and IAC. 13

14 Technological development in all aspects of sugar & ethanol production led productivity to more than triple in last 40 years. Sugarcane s productivity increased from 3.2 to 10.9 tons of TRS per hectare tons cane/ha kg TRS/ton cane 136 In addition, development of new cane varieties enabled expansion towards more than 3 million hectares in new agricultural frontiers. With a total investment of US$ 2.7 billion, value creation is estimated between US$ billion over the last 40 years.

15 Technological development has also enabled improvements in Industrial Efficiency (%) 100.0% Average Industrial Efficiency, measured as capacity of recovering sugars contained in sugarcane as end product (sugar or ethanol) has improved from 82.1 to 89.3%. 90.0% 80.0% Indust. Efficiency 82.1% 89.3% There are mills with Ind. Eff. above 93%. 70.0% 60.0% Source: CTC 15

16 There is room for substantial improvements in productivity of sugarcane through the next two decades. Ag biotechnology will enable gains through molecular breeding and genetically modified varieties. In sugarcane, commercial cellulosic ethanol production started in By 2030, one hectare of sugarcane should produce between 30,000 and 35,000 liters of ethanol. In addition, there is room for the use of complementary crops, like corn, which could add another 3,500 to 5,000 liters of ethanol per hectare Liters of ethanol/hectare Breeding Agronomic Practices Molecular Breeding GM Cane Source: CTC 16

17 G7 courageously decided to ban fossil fuel use until 2100 June : G7 Leaders decided to ban the use of petroleum, natural gas and coal by A courageous decision that will trigger change around the world. Biofuels in Brazil are already saving considerable volumes of CO 2.

20 Biofuels in Brazil In 2015/16 crop, 91% of all cane crushed in Brazil (97% in Centre-South) is mechanically harvested (with no burning) = potential to incorporate not only bagasse but also cane leaves into economic use/production. Brazil has achieved more than 40% substitution of gasoline already and research indicates that productivity in cane can continue to expand in the future. R&D investments in sugarcane have yielded considerable returns overtime (2.7 vs billion US$). Key elements: resolve to carry R&D effort, and IP protection to enable continued private investment. 20
