El Salvador’s Saca backs Brazil biofuel push

Salvadoran president Tony Saca publicly supported Brazil’s emphasis on biofuel production. Perhaps Saca’s defense was an altruistic opinion or a jab against Fidel Castro, but it most probably had to do with the decision by the U.S. and Brazil to choose El Salvador as the site for a “biofuels feasibility study.”

Brazil’s desire to expand biofuel production is not limited just to partnerships with the U.S.; Brazil signed an ethanol alliance with Ecuador last week.
