Abstract

This concerns the implementation of the thesis of doctoral candidate Carmen Silvia Sanches, under supervision of Prof. Dr. Rubens Mazon, together with the POI department of FGV-SP, already assessed and approved by the examining board. The project considers as the subject for investigation the question of the eligibility of an investment project to be implemented under the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism. Thus, it takes as the object of study the expansion of the “Production cycle of sugar and alcohol derived from sugarcane” covering all the activities and products of the sugar mill, namely, sugar, alcohol and the subproducts derived from sugarcane, including a biomass for energy generation.
