 The Pró-Álcool or "Programa Nacional do Álcool" (National Alcohol Program) was a nationwide program financed by the government to phase out all automobile fuels derived from fossil fuels in favour of ethanol.The program successfully reduced by 10 million the number of cars running on gasoline in Brazil, thereby reducing the country's dependence on oil imports.The production and consumption of biodiesel is expected to reach to 2% of diesel fuel in 2008 and 5% in 2013.
