Description:	The Brazilian energy matrix is diverse and over the last decades there has been a concerted effort to diminish Brazilian dependency on foreign petroleum. Traditionally, an important source of energy in Brazil has been hydroelectricity. Many Brazilian sugarcane mills have adopted a biorefinery model where co-products are generated increasing business sustainability. New uses for sugars derived from biomass other than ethanol production âre being developed and this will likely increase the importance of sugar in the world economy in the future.
