It first examines the question why sugarcane-based ethanol from Brazil is considered a superior alternative to fossil fuel compared to other biofuels produced on an industrial scale, and subsequently analyzes the most dynamic areas within the sugarcane sector with regard to relevant actors, technologies and markets in order to determine if the sector can be considered an innovation system. The empirical research presented here is based on multiple research methods and derives its data from interviews with Brazilian experts of the sugarcane sector and by a thorough literature review. The book will be of special interest to researchers and practitioners interested in understanding the key mechanisms in successful innovation systems that promote a transition towards sustainable development and mobility.Contributions to Economics,1431-1933Environmental economicsGlobalizationMarketsSustainable developmentEconomic policyAgricultural economicsAgricultureEnvironmental Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000Emerging Markets/Globalizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525010Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000R & D/Technology Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000Agricultural Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000Agriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Environmental economics.Globalization.Markets.Sustainable development.Economic policy.Agricultural economics.Agriculture.Environmental Economics.Emerging Markets/Globalization.Sustainable Development.R & D/Technology Policy.Agricultural Economics.Agriculture.633.61233Kaup Felixauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061546MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298470003321The Sugarcane Complex in Brazil2519171UNINA
