Also Sugarcane ethanol and bioelectricity produced from leftover fibers, stalks and leaves make sugarcane the largest source of renewable energy in Brazil. Sugarcane provides almost 17 percent of the country’s total energy needs, second only to oil and ahead of hydroelectricity. More than 40 percent of the country’s gasoline needs have been replaced by sugarcane ethanol – making gasoline the alternative fuel in Brazil.

Large hydro accounted for 41.2%, natural gas for 30.8%, and coal, oil and diesel for the rest. The electricity sector in Peru has experienced impressive improvements in the past 15 years. Access to electricity has increased from 45% in 1990 to 88.8% in July 2011

Oil is used as an energy source for motor vehicles through the production of gasoline, diesel oil or kerosene, transportation is responsible for 33% of energy use in Brazil. Oil is also responsible for supplying thermoelectric plant.

    A few years ago, Brazil used to import around 60% of its oil. Nowadays, Brazil has discovered oil reserves in the Pré-sal layer at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, located on the Brazilian coast. In the first bimester of 2015, the export of oil was higher than the import rate.
