Sugar cane and the alcohol

Sugar cane is one of the most important cultures produced in Brazil. This culture was introduced in the end of the 16-century in Brazil and started to be produced in the north west of the country, going down later for different places with better conditions for the cultivation. The sugar cane culture have a important place in Brazil and in the last years this place become more important than ever because the need of new types of fuel, called renewable fuels. The search for others types of fuel become a important issue in the world because the main form of fuel used in the present, the petroleum, is ending and with this it is really important to find another type of fuel that can be sustainable and renewable. The alcohol extracted by the sugar cane is one form of fuel very helpful and can be produced by the humans, and this production is made in the factories of cane process. This factories are responsible to process the sugar cane and in the end of this process, have the alcohol that can be used in a lot of different forms of vehicles and others devices. In Brazil, the state of Sao Paulo is one of the most important producers of sugar cane and one of the biggest producers of alcohol too, producing yet a lot of other products derivatives of sugar cane. In the quest of find new types of energy, each country have your own way to do this new font, like in the USA, they used the corn to extract the alcohol to use in different things, but this process is more expensive that the extraction of the sugar cane. It is really important find new forms of fuel to replace the traditional petroleum because it is a kind of fuel that has your days counted and the end with sure.
