I arrive the Ethanol…! And the tetero of Petroleum that finishes… The environmental contamination increases every day more, the damages to environment every day are greater, and apparently, the global heating not it for anybody. This must to the increasing gas discharges to a great extent (in special carbon dioxide generated by petroleum) that produce the effect conservatory. Being based on this reality, several countries of the world as they are it Colombia, Brazil, the United States, and several of the European Community have determined themselves in beginning to use Ethanol like main fuel, and so that no? The ethanol is an alcohol that can be used like ecological fuel, this it is derived from the sugar and the starch, and as much his production as its use has tripled 7 years in the last. The ethanol, offers diverse advantages on the derivatives of petroleum: - It diminishes environmental damages - the prices of the imports Are smaller - the cost of the fuel Is smaller - Reduces the contamination - It supports the agricultural productions - Improvement the economic and social situations in the countryside - There is greater power security In spite of his advantages, at the moment single Ethanol occupies 1% of the total fuel consumption for transport. He is really insignificant, but thanks to the proposals of these countries, one hopes that it increases to the demand and the consumption of the ethanol. What is going to happen with petroleum? If the proposal of the Ethanol really works, petroleum must lose to be able in the market, it is due to return something obsolete, and with all reason. Derived petroleum and its fuels, are polluting. Whereas the ethanol is not it. It has been verified which the amount of emitted gases using ethanol is minors who using gasoline with lead, even, at the moment are used unleaded gas, which contains 10% of ethanol, to reduce the contamination. So that the Ethanol for Latin America agrees? By the simple fact that the climatic conditions favor us for these agricultural productions, we have the space sufficient to be able to occupy to us of that. This us practically makes exclusive. Brazil, is the greater producer and consuming of ethanol in the world, it produces near 80% of the world-wide supply. In order to be able to produce the same amount of Ethanol, the United States needs the double the maize area that Brazil with sugar cane. He is favorable for Latin America, some looked for “Latin American integration”, safe they are happy or no? In Venezuela, we will have to learn to stop being monoproducing, so that petroleum we will have left of memory, so that if we do not want a very hot future (due to the global heating) then better we let contaminate… The photos to the refiner “the Palito” takes I, but who difficult was to take them with the car in movement.
