| Abstract | The development of sustainable and clean energy sources has gained great importance worldwide due to realization of the urgent need to curb greenhouse gases’ emissions in order to mitigate the effects of climate change. Sugarcane biofuels are important alternative to fossil fuels as they offer environmental and socioeconomic advantages. Brazil leads the world for ethanol production from cane juice, an abundant renewable source in the country. In this context, the status of sugarcane crop in Brazil, capacity of its sugar and ethanol industry, and the current standing of its lignocellulosic biorefineries are presented in this chapter. Additionally, the impact of biofuels economy of Brazil, as well as the acceptance and adaptability at the user’s end are discussed. Moreover, new possibilities of 2G biofuel production after prospective technological improvements to make them even feasible are presented. |
