Brazil, with its huge ethanol from cane industry should be making ethanol from cellulose too [one would think]. They already do that indirectly, by burning leftover sugarcane bagasse to power the ethanol production process. BTW, Brazil is starting to make polyethylene from ethanol. I suspect this will make more economic sense than exporting ethanol for use as fuel.

when reading "sustainable" and "renewable" I lose interest. Ditto. I also lose interest whenever anyone uses 'centric'; 'eco'; 'friendly'; 'green', etc. Trendy words with no meaning intended to impress the reader or listener with the user's generalized state of globalized Third Worldish with-it-ness, e.g., Look at me! I am an eco-friendly low carbon footprint kinda of green guy with a sustaino-centric worldview who supports locovores like Al Gore and accepts man-created global warming as dogma even though I am utterly clueless concerning the science involved. Yeech! One of the tasks I have imposed on myself, a thankless one, is to rescue the King's English. A good place to start, for those who care: vocabula.com
