industrial production of ethanol from sugar cane

• International Competitiveness and Sugar Strategy Options in Australia, Brazil and the European Union

Understanding of international competitiveness has primarily been pursued in terms of economic variables and market conditions. The roles of the government, the socio-cultural-political context in international business, and their effects on competitiveness have largely been ignored. This study involves an investigation into the circumstances of international competitiveness and how it is pursued by firms from different sugar producing and marketing nations. It employs a qualitative method of comparative analysis between Australia, Brazil, and the European Union. This paper highlights the variations of the theme of international competitiveness reflected through different strategies chosen by the three dominant sugar economies

Slipping the car into reverse and -- quietly, electrically -- backing out, Sebastian is reminded by the fuel gauge it's time to fill up. "It's easy to forget," he thinks, largely because it's been three months since he's been at the gas station. The first month was the worst, what with his kids' hockey playoffs all over the city. He wasn't able to get all his driving done during his 70-kilometre electric-only limit. Since then, the diesel generator, which provides added electricity when the battery dies down, just hasn't cut in.
