RISING EXPORTS 
-------------- 
 
1. Brazil's main sugarcane-producing center, in the southwest region 
of the country, exported a record 428 million liters of ethanol in 
June 2006, in contrast to 268 million liters of ethanol over the 
same period last year.  Most of the region's exports went to the 
United States, which has been importing large volumes of ethanol 
this season due to the elimination, in May, of the country's use of 
the gasoline additive MTBE.  According to the technical director of 
the Sao Paulo Sugar and Alcohol Producer Association (UNICA), 
Antonio de Padua Rodrigues, the region is likely to export 1.5 
billion liters by September, and will have to revise its 2006-2007 
ethanol export estimates, which forecast 1.9 billion liters of total 
export.  Rodrigues added that it is possible that Brazil will export 
2.5 billion liters still this season.  U.S. demand accounted for 
over 60% of the direct shipments in June. 
 
PETROBRAS MOVING IN 
------------------- 
 
2. On June 30, 2006, the Administrative Council of Brazilian 
state-run oil company Petrobras approved and launched a program of 
new investments aimed at leading Latin America in oil, gas and 
biofuels production.  The company is planning on investing US$ 87.1 
billion in new projects between 2007 and 2011.  Company CEO, Jose 
Gabrielli, justified the investment by saying that Petrobras wants 
to lead the world in biodiesel production.  The total estimated 
investment for the development of renewable energy sources and 
biofuels is US$ 0.7 billion. 
 
CARGILL TOO 
----------- 
 
3. Two major Brazilian dailies recently reported that American 
company Cargill Inc. concluded a US$ 70 million deal to purchase a 
63% stake in Cevasa, a sugar and ethanol mill in Sao Paulo.  The 
company's chairman in Brazil, Sergio Barroso, is quoted as saying 
that Cargill has been analyzing the sugar and alcohol industry in 
Brazil for some time and that becoming more active in this promising 
sector is a logical step for the company.  Barroso further mentioned 
the high degree of competitiveness reached by the Brazilian sugar 
cane industry through its technological, industrial and agricultural 
expertise.  The company's decision is strategic due to the recent 
announcement by U.S automakers to double production of vehicles 
using the flexible-fuel technology by 2010. 
 
DIESEL OPTIONS 
-------------- 
 
4. The Brazilian newspaper Estado de Sao Paulo also ran an article 
saying that Petrobras will test the first samples of bio-diesel made 
from bovine sebum, estimated to be cheaper than the bio-diesel made 
from soybeans.  Petrobras will receive 31 million liters of the new 
fuel through the end of the year.  According to the producer of the 
fuel, Carlos Zveibil Neto, bio-diesel can be made from various 
oleaginous substances, such as the bovine sebum.  The fuel is an 
Italian invention, which Brazilian producers have received a license 
to use and produce. 
 
5. Petrobras also announced the development of a new diesel fuel 
mixed with vegetable oils that will sharply reduce the country's 
need for imported diesel.  Petrobras said that the new fuel, called 
H-Bio, is cheaper when compared to the diesel produced only from 
petroleum.  H-Bio was developed over 18 months of tests utilizing 
oil from sunflower seeds, cotton, castor beans and, mainly, 
soybeans.  According to Petrobras CEO Gabrielli, H-Bio is a very 
important for Brazilian independence in energy and, initially, the 
country will save as much as US$ 240 million annually (25% of the 
country's importing of the product) until 2008 on oil imports.  The 
new H-Bio fuel is different from bio-diesel, which is also produced 
with vegetable oils.  In June, Minister Furlan predicted to 
Secretary Gutierrez that by 2008, approximately 20% of Brazil's soy 
 
SIPDIS 
oil will be exported for this purpose. 
 
JAPANESE FINANCING 
------------------ 
 
6. The International Cooperation Bank of Japan will finance over US$ 
600 million for the production of ethanol and biodiesel in Brazil. 
 
BRASILIA 00001461  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
Half of this amount will be invested in expanding production in 
three Brazilian states and the other half will finance biodiesel 
projects in the Northeast region of the country.  Japan imported 
317.8 million liters of ethanol for industrial purposes and has been 
a significant consumer of the Brazilian fuel since the passage of a 
2003 law, which allowed for a 3% mix of ethanol in gasoline.
