Ethanol executive visits Barbados
The Barbados energy sector got a first hand account today of Brazil’s successful transition from gasoline to ethanol-powered vehicles.
The occasion was a meeting between local energy officials and visiting executive Manfred Wefers of Coimex, an ethanol exporter from Brazil.
Mr. Wefers says ethanol is about 40-45 per cent cheaper than gas and it is possible for Barbados to reap the similar benefits.
Charles Briggs, manager of the local cane industry restructuring project, says the Barbados plan is to mix ethanol with gas.
