“…These multiple strategies of industrial sugarcane usage associated with cellulosic ethanol production can contribute to greater offsetting of carbon (C) emissions (Jaiswal et al, 2017). Despite these advantages, bioethanol is still not economically accepted in the energy market compared to fossil fuels (Merritt;Barragán-Ocaña, 2021). One alternative to stimulate the use of bioethanol would induce policymakers to pay attention to the market and encourage the consumption of economically viable and environmentally sound energy supply alternatives to fossil fuels (Merritt;Barragán-Ocaña, 2021).…”

To deal with these factors, in addition to political issues, several public, and private Brazilian institutions, including the Agronomic Institute of Campinas (IAC), Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA), Inter-University Network for the Development of the Sugar-Alcohol Sector (RIDESA), and Sugarcane Technology Center (CTC), have contributed to increasing crop productivity through genetic improvement of sugarcane via conventional breeding.…”
