Synopsis
In this week's Global Business Peter Day is back in Brazil. This time he is looking at Brazil's very successful Ethanol Industry which has been a credible alternative fuel for cars since the 1970's with 90% less emissions than gasoline. Can they persuade the rest of the world that this is a technology cheap to run and ready to use now instead of the hybrid option favoured by places like the USA and Europe?
