Commercialization of enzymatic conversion of cellulose into sugar should be one of the most important alternative fuel projects to be funded, but it is not. An excerpt below spells out the current situation. As demonstrated in this experiment, the breaking down some of the cellulose is really not very difficult. However, translating a process from a laboratory scale to a commercial scale is not so trivial. glue.umd.edu .

Tell the senators to import the stuff. Competition from Brazil will force farmers to improve efficiency. let the guys from other developing countries export the stuff. Less money will flow to the middle east countries and will spread more evenly. We are starting on the periphery: Nigeria, Venezuela, Pakistan, Thailand... Get those 15bn gallons multiply them by 12. That market share will be enough for us to rake in the cash.

Slage, compare the visits of Conzolleza Rice to foreign with Amorim. Amorim coordinates G-20 meetings in Pakistan 16:12 Mylena Fiori Reporter - Agência Brasil Brasília - On Friday (9) and Saturday (10), the Brazilian minister of Foreign Relations, Celso Amorim, coordinated ministerial meetings of the Group of 20 (G-20) in the city of Bhurban, in Pakistan. On the agenda, the bloc's agricultural negotiating strategies for the World Trade Organization's (WTO) Doha Round, in preparation for the WTO's Sixth Ministerial Meeting, scheduled for December, in Hong Kong. According to information furnished by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Relations (Itamaraty), on the first day the meetings, Amorim commented on the central role of the G-20 in the Doha Round, emphasizing that the united action altered the content and format of the negotiations. The G-20 was founded in August, 2003, during the preparatory phase of the Fifth Ministerial Conference of the WTO, in Cancun, Mexico, to defend the mutual interests of developing countries with regard to agricultural issues. The group represents 13% of the global GDP (Gross Domestic Product, that is, the sum of all goods and services produced by a country or group of countries) and 21% of the global agricultural GDP, 57% of the world's population, and 70% of the world's agricultural population. It also accounts for 26% of world agricultural exports and 62% of global sugar production, 50% of global coffee production, 62% of global soybean production, 54% of global cotton production, 72% of global rice production, and 70.5% of global tobacco production. Brazilian victories in the WTO against US cotton subsidies and European sugar subsidies were cited by the Pakistani minister of Commerce at the opening of the meeting. He also mentioned the importance of the union among developing countries in combating distortions in the way agriculture is treated in the sphere of international commerce, and he underscored the role played by Brazil and India in coordinating the work of the G-20, which has led to positive results. According to the Itamaraty, at a private meeting with the Pakistani prime minister, Amorim delivered a letter from President Lula, expressed gratitude for the visit by Pakistani president, Pervez Musharraf, to Brazil last year, and examined areas of potential bilateral cooperation, such as ethanol and aviation. Minister Amorim is the first high Brazilian government official to visit Pakistan in 20 years. Since the visit by the Pakistani president to Brazil last November, official and business contacts between the two countries have become more intense. According to the Itamaraty, there are prospects for negotiating an agreement between Pakistan and the Mercosur. Translation: David Silberstein 12/09/2005
