The <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccab.org.br\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/a><\/strong> participates with its own stand for the second year running, and this edition features a partnership with the Ministry of the Environment and the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (<a href=\"http:\/\/english.unica.com.br\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UNICA<\/a>). The event runs through the next Wednesday (23).<\/p>\n<p>UNICA institutional relations coordinator Julia Tauszig is at the stand to promote sugarcane ethanol. Brazil is the top producer of sugarcane ethanol and one of the world\u2019s largest ethanol producer, second only to the United States, which also produces it from corn.<\/p>\n<p>Tauszig said that there are currently three main challenges that ethanol can solve. The first one is the climate change. \u201cThe cities are committed to the reduction of CO<sub>2<\/sub>, and ethanol brings about a 90% reduction of CO<sub>2<\/sub> compared to gasoline,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The second challenge is the air quality, which she says is also considerably improved by using ethanol. \u201cS\u00e3o Paulo reduced its pollutants from 54 to 29 micrograms per cubic meter, and now the air has a much higher quality than big cities in China and India, for example,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The third main challenge is the dependence on the oil. \u201cNo country now wants to rely on oil. The electric car is an alternative, but it\u2019s only worthy it depending on the country\u2019s energy matrix. Ethanol may be a transport solution for a low CO<sub>2<\/sub> emission that does not require creating a large infrastructure,\u201d Tauszig said.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Story continues after photo gallery)<\/em><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-260303 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.31.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.31-300x225.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-260272\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-260272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.31-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.31-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.31-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.31.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-260272'>\n\t\t\t\tTauszig (L) at the stand\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.371.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.371-300x225.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-260275\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-260275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.371-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.371-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.371-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.371-600x450-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.371.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-260275'>\n\t\t\t\tArab Chamber&#8217;s stand at WETEX\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.372.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.372-300x225.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-260278\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-260278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.372-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.372-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.372-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-10-21-at-08.20.372.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-260278'>\n\t\t\t\tShow runs until Wednesday(23)\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>She said that Brazilian gas has now 27% of ethanol in its composition. \u201cThe idea here in the Arab countries is to bring this <em>Green Petrol<\/em> concept, a gas with a high content of ethanol in the mix. In most countries, the concentration is 5% or 10%, and over 20% is considered a high mix,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt\u2019s an existing, readily available solution that doesn\u2019t need large adaptations,\u201d she reiterated.<\/p>\n<p>Tauszig said that UNICA is searching for partners in the Arab countries, in both the public and private sector, to promoting <em>Green Petrol<\/em> and creating a market and a demand, incorporating ethanol to gas and so reducing the negative environmental impacts that oil creates. But she says that the countries must have public encouragement policies, so it must be a public-private partnership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday was a quite interesting, busy day. Many people from both public and private bodies were interested. I talked to people from different countries, such as Turkey, Morocco and the UAE, and they were interested,\u201d she reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUNICA came to talk about the importance of ethanol for the sustainability, showing it as a fuel alternative, a sustainable transit project that influences CO<sub>2<\/sub> reduction,\u201d said Arab Chamber Institutional Relations manager Fernanda Baltazar, also in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>For its turn, the Ministry of the Environment took a park concession project to WETEX. \u201cAlthough it doesn\u2019t seem to have a connection, they are dealing with economy in sustainable terms, and injecting money in parks, environmental preservation, is bringing to the show a green economy in the sense of investing in conservation, infrastructure and respect for the diversity, and therefore showing the UAE and other investors in the region how it can be developed. The concession project starts in 60 days for some parks in the South and Northeast of Brazil,\u201d Baltazar said.<\/p>\n<p>Arab Chamber events coordinator T\u00e2mara Machado says that the main goal of the Arab Chamber in WETEX is showing that Brazil is very important in the renewable, clean energy and sustainability sector. \u201cAnd also establishing the Arab Chamber place as a business broker between Brazil and the 22 Arab countries,\u201d Machado added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-260268\">Press Release<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sugar and alcohol industry association participates in the show that has started this Monday (21) in the United Arab Emirates.
