8 Ethanol in Brazil (Sugar Cane) Compared to Ethanol in US (Corn) Characteristic Brazil U.S. Total arable land355270 (1) Million hectares. (1) Only contiguous U.S. (excludes Alaska) Total area used for ethanol crop 3.6 (1%) 10 (3.7%) Million hectares (% total arable) Productivity per hectare7,5003,000Liters of ethanol per hectare. Brazil is 727 to 870 gal/acre (2006), US is 321 gal/acre (2005/06) Energy balance (input energy productivity) 8-9 times 1,3-1,6 times Ratio energy expended in production/energy obtained from ethanol Ethanol fueling stations in the counrty 33,000 (100%) 873 (0,5%) As % of total fueling gas stations in the country. U.S. has 170,000 (see Inslee, op cit pp. 161) Fuel ethanol used on transportation 40%3.6%As % of the country's total fuel consumption on a volumetric basis Cost of production (USD/gallon) 0.831.142006/2007 for Brazil (22¢/liter), 2004 for U.S. (35¢/liter) Government subsidy (in USD) 00,51/b ushel U.S. as of 2008-04-30.
