The project is in keeping with technical cooperation agreements signed by the Brazilian government with several countries.
The course, simultaneously translated into Spanish and French, is going to tackle matters such as the ethanol scenario within the context of global and Brazilian energy, the potential of sugarcane in energy production, the importance and the characteristics of the sugar and alcohol industry in Brazil, the ethanol production chain, distribution and commercialisation of ethanol: transport, storage, supply and export.
