description Human activities and industrial production demands more and more energy consumption, which has expanded in Brazil the production of ethanol from sugarcane, especially under such as renewable and alternative energy source fuels fossil. The aim is to analyze environmental management of the production of hydrated ethanol, from cane sugar. The methodological procedures application Life Cycle Analysis from Centre for Environmental Science of Leiden University (CML) in 2000, in the Unit Group St. Terezinha. The results show that the environmental aspects of the life cycle of hydrated ethanol produced, the agricultural phase is relatively the greatest potential environmental impact when confronted with the industrial phase of biofuel. The impact categories are related to issues of human toxicity and ecotoxicity in Freshwater. The agricultural phase of environmental interference not only manifested in the depletion of the Ozone Layer. For the other phases of the product occur, in the categories of eutrophication and depletion of the Ozone Layer. The categories of impact, that the hydrous ethanol may be considered a renewable, but not cleared.
