“…EC was divided according to three categories, considering the feedstock production (agricultural phase), the ethanol production in distilleries and transport operations. The use of energy in the production of feedstocks includes the preparation of the cultivable area and the cultivation itself, the production and use of inputs, such as mineral fertilizers, alkalizing compounds and soil conditioners, and the harvest (Salla et al, 2009(Salla et al, , 2010a. Fermentation and distillation comprise the main energy-consuming steps in distilleries, in addition to specific feedstock processing steps, such as milling in sugarcane-based and saccharification in corn-and cassava-based plants.…”

“…The use of starch-based feedstocks as raw materials for the ethanol industry depends on the previous conversion of the starch chains to a solution of readily fermentable sugars on a process known as saccharification, which usually comprises the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. Although this process is a highly energy-demanding step due to the use of high temperatures, the energy consumption in the steps related with the extraction of juice from sugarcane in high-pressure mills is about 100% greater than in saccharification (Salla et al, 2009).…”

“…The discussed results are indicative that the energy balance of sweet potato -considering its average production and the energy efficiency of the aerial part of the plant -, is similar or greater to that of sugarcane for ethanol production, according to Macedo et al (2008) and Salla et al (2009), respectively; in all scenarios, the energy balances for sweet potato, even when the biomass of the aerial part of the plant was not taken into account, are much greater than those obtained by Salla & Cabello (2010) for corn.…”

“…Macedo et al (2008), for example, found an average of 8.3 for 82 Mg ha -1 stalks in the 2002 crop season, based on the energy efficiency of the produced ethanol and of the stalk biomass used as a source for combustion furnaces. Salla et al (2009) reported a value of 1.1 for 85 Mg ha -1 , considering only the efficiency of the produced ethanol. Regarding the production of ethanol from corn, in Brazil, the energy index is 1.19 for 6 Mg ha -1 , also considering only the energy efficiency of the produced ethanol (Salla & Cabello, 2010).…”

“…Estudos energéticos diferenciam-se das análises econômicas, pois permitem estimar a energia diretamente consumida e/ou indiretamente utilizada em um processo produtivo (SALLA et al 2009). Em indústrias sucroalcooleiras os índices de eficiência podem ser observados nos trabalhos de Schirmer (2006), que verificou os indicadores de eficiência energética e exergética em duas indústrias do setor sucroalcooleiro, essaltando no setor a necessidade do uso racional da energia como fator de modernização e diversificação.…”
