Answer (B), Brazil is considered the biofuel industry leader and the world's first sustainable biofuels economy.
Brazil has the largest and most successful biofuel programs in the world, involving the production of ethanol fuel from sugarcane, and it is considered to have the world's first sustainable biofuels economy In 2006 Brazilian ethanol provided 18% of the country's road transport sector fuel consumption needs, and by April 2008, more than 50% of fuel consumption for the gasoline market. As a result of the increasing use of ethanol, together with the exploitation of domestic deepwater oil sources, Brazil reached in 2006 a volumetric self-sufficiency in oil supply, but is not effectively self-sufficient, since most of its locally extracted oil is heavy.
I think Brazil is considered the biofuel industry leader and the world's first sustainable biofuels economy.
