Summary:
This video explores the automotive revolution in Brazil that was initially inspired by rising oil prices on the international market and has since been fueled by Brazil's production of ethanol. It examines the flex fuel car, which can run on either ethanol or petrol, explores the relationship between the ethanol industry and the Brazilian government, traces the process of harvesting sugarcane, considers the environmental impacts of producing ethanol from sugarcane, and looks at possible future applications of sugarcane-derived ethanol.
