Item Evaluación comparativa de los costos de producción de bioetanol en Colombia frente a las importaciones de Brasil: Periodos 2017-2021(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Lopez Dulcey, Rodrigo; Guerrero Hoyos, Daniel Felipe; Gonzalez Clavijo, Daniel AntonioThe objective of this document is to evaluate the costs of bioethanol production in Colombia compared to Brazil between 2015 and 2021. The methodology of the study is descriptive, using different academic documents, scientific articles and reports. Colombia, due to its productive wealth in agriculture, its geographical and climatic conditions, has a significant potential for the production of biofuels from sugar cane with approximately 225,000 hectares dedicated to the production of sugar cane among different departments with more than 14 tons of sugar per hectare per year, however, Colombia is not a large producing country, it ranks fifteenth in the world, far from the 35 million tons produced by Brazil, it is one of the largest producers of bioethanol and biodiesel in the world. The energy transition has led countries to search for alternative fuels, this opens up possibilities for the use of bioethanol. Colombia does not have the full capacity to meet all the potential demand for this product. For its part, Brazil has greater production capacity as well as the technology to supply exports. This makes importation into the country viable at least in the short term while the country prepares either to improve national production or to make a transition towards electric vehicles, the latter is not expected in the short term.
