Description
Summary:Within the agroenergythe two products that stand out most are: biodiesel and ethanol. As the latter already has a consolidated market and technology, while biodiesel is still in development and is trying to consolidate itself with government support. Their use has as main characteristic the environmental advantages, in relation to the use of fossil fuels. In order to use biodiesel, it is not necessary to change the diesel engine and collaborated to the success of the use of ethanol in flex fuel technology. This study analyzed the characteristics of land use and land use related to the production of raw materials for the production of biodiesel and ethanol in Brazil. The methodological process used was descriptive, exploratory and bibliographical. Regarding the use of land for planting the raw material for these two fuels, it was verified that given the amount of arable land that Brazil has, the percentages for the production of agriculture for energy production do not affect the production of food. Another observation is that inthe case of biodiesel production the main raw material used is soybean residue, therefore, most of the time, it is not planted exclusively for the production of the same.
