Abstract
Bio-fuel energy can be defined as an alternative source of energy due to being sustainable in both producing energy at a lower price and avoiding exceeding carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere. The most common worldwide types of bio-fuel are bio-diesel and ethanol. There are many methods to understand how and why technologies are accepted in a country. This report reviews bio-fuel adoption relative to political, cultural, technical, environmental, and economic perspectives for the two largest bio-fuel producers, Brazil and the United States. The research approach is to review the successful bio-fuel adoption in Brazil and ultimately to understand if any of these practices can be applied to the United States. The lessons learned from Brazil could be used by the United States to promote more widespread use of bio-fuel, with the long-term objective of being an “oil-independent” nation in the future.
