Ethanol Refining
How close is cellulosic ethanol to being commercialized? The technology to create cellulosic ethanol is available today, and is in the early stages of commercialization. Though most of the pieces are in place, the key is to continue to make it more cost-effective and economically competitive. Some estimate the technology is within 5 to 10 years of being fully commercialized.

Brazil Ethanol Exports May Soar on Demand From Japan (Update1)
Sept. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Brazilian ethanol exports may grow ``exponentially'' on demand from Japan should the country implement plans to promote blended fuel, said Paulo Roberto Costa, refining chief at Petroleo Brasileiro SA. Japanese purchases of the fuel could rise to as much as 7 billion liters a year assuming the country moves ahead with plans to boost the ethanol content of regular gasoline to as much as 10 percent, Costa said. Brazil, the world's largest ethanol producer, exported 2.5 million liters last year, he said. Petrobras is seeking to increase ethanol exports to help the government expand agricultural output and prevent poor farmers from migrating to the cities. The government-controlled company also views ethanol as way to extend the life of its oil reserves and allow more time to develop other alternatives to petroleum, Costa said.
