Abstract

In the 70s, Brazil started a program to substitute gasoline by ethanol in order to decrease dependence from politically and economically variable periods. The plant species chosen was sugarcane and as a consequence, agricultural and technological studies were greatly intensified, leading Brazil to a very favorable position in terms of energy security. Nowadays, Brazil has more than 80% of its cars running with bioethanol and even airplane engines are now being developed. With the increasing political instability in the Middle East, since 2001, the USA has also decided to direct its energy policy towards the use of biofuels. This is now being followed by Europe and Japan and it is likely to be followed by several other countries in the world. This imposes an enormous pressure on the production of crops that can supply bioethanol. Brazilian sugarcane is probably the most efficient extant bioethanol producing system. However, only part of the biomass produced is used for bioenergy production, 1/3 of the plant being used for sucrose production, 1/3 is bagasse, which is burnt for production of electricity and the last third is left in the field and latter on decomposed by microorganisms. Therefore, in order to supply wider needs, a significant increase in production of ethanol is possible if we can provide the basic knowledge necessary for development of technologies that will be capable to obtain energy from the polysaccharides of the cell wall, which makes 70% of the biomass burnt inefficiently and left in the field. The availability of such processes within the distillery and the higher marketing value of liquid fuel provide additional economical advantages to its conversion instead of simply burning bagasse. Although the chemical hydrolysis of biomass is a consolidated methodology under laboratory conditions, its large-scale application is not economically viable, yet. The necessary use of acids reduces the life-time of equipments, produces toxic wastes and produces non-fermentable sugars, Increasing the costs of the products. One alternative is the enzymatic hydrolysis of the cell wall. Such a process requires the use of a complex machinery of specific enzymes that are produced either by the plant itself or by microorganism able to degrade plant cell walls. On the other hand, relatively little is known about the structure and architecture of the cell wall. One of the goals of the IN CT do Bioetanol (Figure 1) is understand the fine structure of the principal hemicelluloses of sugarcane and other possible sources of biomass. We intend to find patterns of gene expression that could be useful to find ways to induce the plants to degrade their own wall and become prepared for subsequent hydrolysis. In parallel, we intend to prospect microorganisms, enzymes and genes both in microorganisms and sugarcane, that are capable to efficiently hydrolyze the walls. Such enzymes will be designed to have the highest possible performance to degrade plant cell walls, especially the walls of sugarcane. A group of researchers screen existent varieties of sugarcane to find gene markers that could guide the groups to quickly identify plant materials that would be more suitable for use in industrial processes. From the latter viewpoint, our group intends to perform tests of mechanical preparation of sugarcane for further acid and/or enzymatic hydrolysis. With this data in hands, we expect to be able to provide the fundamental knowledge of biotechnology that is necessary for scaling up studies and further increase in efficient of bioethanol production in Brazil.
