Ethanol — particularly sugarcane ethanol — is a clean burning, high-octane biofuel. It is a renewable energy source and can be grown year after year. Pure ethanol, a grain alcohol produced from sources such as corn and sugarcane, is not typically used as a replacement for gasoline. Rather, anywhere from 10-85% ethanol can be integrated into a gasoline supply to reduce both oil consumption and fuel burning emissions that contribute to global warming. Sugarcane has become the primary fuel source for Brazil, a country that has successfully weaned itself from a dependency on foreign oil. Stratos believes that Peru is capable of growing up to twice the amount of sugarcane per hectare (ha)* than an equivalent operation in Brazil.
*A hectare (ha) is a metric unit used to measure area
1 ha = ~2.5 acres
